Stepping into 2023!
Hey Hun,
The build up to the festive period can get so busy, that once it's all done and dusted, the aftermath can seem a little deflating! Getting back to reality can be a tough one, from low funds, new goals and the sheer overwhelm of the holidays. So here are a few cheap and cheerful tips to keep you merry and bright for the new year.
1. Try to get good sleep
We've all been tempted to just scroll on our phones for a few extra minutes, or watch another episode of that Netflix series we've been meaning to catch up on, then before we know it the birds are tweeting outside and we're shattered for the day ahead. Getting a good night's sleep is the foundation that will set you up for success in your waking hours. So do yourself a favor and try to get a good amount of sleep at night.
2. Create relaxing routines
Whether you've had a good or bad day, by carrying out one of your relaxing routines, you'll automatically feel lifted. If that means using that gorgeous smelling bath bomb in the bath you've been saving, listening and dancing to your fave tunes, or taking a walk and just appreciating what's around you, these simple things can create perfect ways to reflect and unwind.
3. Laugh and smile more
When we feel joy it radiates to others. A simple smile can brighten up someone's day and in turn will make you feel good. It doesn't take much, and even though most people don't, be that person who does! Smile away Hun, it suits you!
4. Be kind to yourself
In this day and age it's so so easy to get caught up in everyone else's highlight reels, that we can start to compare our worth, how we look, our goals and a million other things about ourselves. PLEASE STOP!!! Instead, look at yourself in a mirror and remember how far you've come, and how well you're doing! Write down a list of what you have achieved and your future goals, or phone a friend or family member for a laugh and a catch up. We are all on our own unique journey in life, and should be way kinder to ourselves than we usually allow.
We hope these ideas bring you peace in the new year, and if there are things you do to help you at the start of a new year we'd love to hear them.
Keep Smiling!
