I am still not quite used to it not being a holiday period. Â My body and brain are sluggish and I am unable to settle to my usual routines yet. Â I am also so out of the ‘new year, new me’ vibe that’s everywhere right now. Â What to do, huh? Â My ideas:
1. Look at inspiring people – like the plus size model, Tara Lynn, above. Â People who are able to lift the spirit of those of us unable to achieve the accepted ‘norms’ of size and shape. Â Look great and be happy is a brilliant resolution at any time of the year.
2. Think about how to live life as best I can and don’t sweat the small stuff.
3. Do some things that make me feel good – reading, watching films, writing.
4. Do some chores to counter balance the ‘just cannot get it together’ feeling and make me feel I have done something rather than nothing in this slow period.
5. Be patient, be kind to myself, keep going though the motions and wait … my energies will be back. Â I just don’t quite know when …

What does anyone else do to get through a New Year Blues period?
