Post Holiday Blues: Steps to Rejuvenate

The holiday season is often filled with joy, connection, and celebration for some. For others, it's a time of anxiousness and stress navigating unhealthy family and social dynamics. Oftentimes, after festivities wind down, many people find themselves feeling drained, overwhelmed, or even a little blue. The transition back to routine can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can restore balance and enter the new year feeling refreshed and renewed. Here are some practical tips for post-holiday recovery to help you prioritize your mental and physical well-being.

1. Feel the feels...there is no right or wrong way to feel
2. Ease back into routine with grace and compassion
3. Be realistic with goals to set yourself up for progress
4. Reconnect with what was put on hold, such as friends, hobbies, and habits
5. Nourish your nervous system to stay present and focused
6. Plan something to look forward to, which can boost your mood. It doesn't have to be big and lavish 
7. Decluttering can not only help your space but also your mind
8. Go back to #1 and #2...feel the feels, take your time and give yourself grace, love, and compassion
