Hi All,
It’s that time of year again: Christmas is over; New Years is finito and the blues are setting in for most of us. What’s the best way to combat this post-festivities-depression? Create something new to look forward to, of course! Read on to find out the best ways to lift your spirits and make January 2013 the best post-Christmas-period ever!
Have Fun in the Sun
The best way to escape the post-Christmas depression is to get away from it. Book a cheap and cheerful holiday or mini break and give yourself something to look forward to. There are loads of deals available online in the January sales, so why not take the opportunity to find that perfect break to suit you. Get relaxing by the pool in an exotic location such as Morocco or Tunisia and cheer yourself up with a chic new look by splashing out on a gorgeous swimsuit for the occasion. You’ll find swimsuits online from Swimwear365, and with everything from elegant one-pieces to cute polka dot bandeaus you’re bound to find a style to complement you! If a big holiday is something that might break the post-Christmas bank account, then why not browse for a long weekend away? There are plenty of scenic locations across the UK if you don’t want to go too far, and a great recommendation is the Lake District for a cosy getaway.
Plan a Party
Be it a classy dinner party with close friends, a family get-together or even a big ‘post-Christmas-welcome-to-2013 affair: this is a great way to get friends or family together to tackle the blues. Cook up some canapés, crack open the bubbly and create a classics-of-twenty-twelve soundtrack to be enjoyed with your friends and loved ones. If you’re not up for entertaining then plan a night out with your friends. Glam up and head to a swanky bar for a girly night out. Make sure to wind down after getting back into that 9-5 routine of work, after eating, drinking and sleeping yourself silly over the holidays!
Get healthy
There’s no doubt that you probably over-indulged or even splurged a little during the Christmas period – you’re only human after all! Now that it’s January, it’s time for a fresh start and getting into shape can do tremendous things for your mood. Hit the gym, maintain a balanced diet and even get involved in some local sports competitions or events if you want to push yourself further. Signing up for a community 10k run or a half-marathon will give you a goal to work towards and you could even get some friends or work colleagues involved to make it more fun. Regardless of how you do it, becoming healthier will be a great way to get over the end of Christmas.
Finally, remember to keep busy. Don’t just sit inside and mourn the celebrations and thrill of Christmas time! It’ll be around again in no time after all…
