January Blues?

In the past I’ve often asked myself why I find January so hard. I feel like I’m so tired and every day is a real effort just to function at the basic level!

I know I’m not alone in this feeling, the phrase January Blues is not a new one.

It’s a dark and grey month, we barely see the sun; as in sat here writing now there’s drizzling rain gently tapping on the window and grey clouds covering the sky. It does very little to raise spirits and moods!

This week in particular feels hard, as my daughter’s birthday was last week so I’m finally on the come down from all the buzz, present buying, party planning, pressure building!

I feel like I can finally allow myself to slow down and get into my wintering mode.

I’ve seen a lot of social media, talk of this time of the year being the wrong time to start anew. We’re still in winter so our body’s and minds still need to be in slow mode.

In fact it’s spring equinox that is the right time to wake up our body’s and mind and start afresh. We should take a leaf out of natures rule book!

So remember to not push yourself to the breaking point this month, take it easy when you need to. I myself have decided that today is a stay at home day, being warm and cozy, and I’m going to make a comforting stew for tea!
