January can be rough. Everything from over-indulgence in holiday desserts to the constant lack of sunshine can begin to weigh heavy on many people. While we buckle up and wait for warmer days to roll around, there are many things you can do to make yourself feel a bit better, and it all starts with a little (or a lot) of self-care.
Connect with Nature
We know what you’re thinking; it’s way too cold to connect with nature now, I’ll make time for that in the spring. We completely understand, but hear us out. Spending time in nature can improve your energy levels and mood, even when it’s cold and gray. You might be surprised at how much a simple walk can help your mental state!
Regular Exercise
Regular exercise is crucial to feeling good during the holiday letdown and the rest of the winter that follows. Activity can go hand-in-hand with getting out into nature, as you can walk or run outside, enjoying your neighbourhood, local trails, and all the fresh air Mother Nature has to offer.
A treadmill session or yoga classes can provide fantastic benefits if you’re more of an indoor person. Exercise releases endorphins, helping you feel focused and happy. When motivation falls short, remember the benefits that just a 15-minute workout can bring.
Stay Connected
We know it’s hard to go out, mainly when the weather is nothing short of blustery, but staying connected with your family and friends is essential to feeling good when the January blues roll around. Social commitments give us a sense of purpose, even if it’s just a cup of coffee at a local shop with a good friend.
Eat Well
While this should be a priority all year long, eating well is particularly important when you’re burnt out and coming off too many holiday cookies. Supplement your diet with nutrient-rich food, including plenty of fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
A balanced diet will boost your mood and energy levels, giving you exactly what you need to get through the day. And your next workout!
Book a Skincare Appointment
If you think you’re feeling a little sad, take a look at your skin. We’re kidding, you’re beautiful, but weeks of rich meals and desserts can leave skin feeling dehydrated or broken out. Or both!
