The After Christmas Blues- Tips To Help Lift Your Spirits

Whether you had an enjoyable Christmas or not, there can be a feeling of a 'let down' after Christmas for many individuals.





It is important to up your game on self-care to help during this time!

The best things that you can do is:

Positive self-talk- tell yourself over and over that you are okay

Slow deep cleansing breaths 

Walk outside and get fresh air, exercise and sunshine- yes- even if it is cold

Drink more water

Seek support/ reach out to others and do not isolate yourself

List your passions in life - and then write down small steps to work on pursuing them

Get adequate sleep

Pray

Start a gratitude journal

Stay active with exercise and/ or relaxing activities such as reading or drawing 

Have a sense of humor

Join a support group or small group at church
