A few people told me that they felt that January was the toughest month of the year.
There are numerous reasons why one would think that way, but let us focus on some simple ways to counter that.
1) Light at the end of the tunnel: Based on the time line, we are actually at the midpoint of January today. By tomorrow it will be more than half way through the month!
2) Forget about December or “dilute” the December effect: Drop the “baggage” of over-spending and/or over-eating in Dec (sorry that I might have just reminded you of that). Treat January as a regular month and try to mitigate the effect “coming down from high” which makes things feel more difficult than they should be.
3) Catch up with friends and family that you might not have time to see during the busy December.
4) The year 2015 is still fresh, so let us look forward to all the possibilities ahead of us :>
