The winter Blues! It is a month after New Year and the resolutions have gone by the way side. We are not yet out of the threat of winter and it is not quite yet spring. For a lot of people money is tight after the festivities and the news is full of cut backs and redundancies. It is not a good time for feeling up beat and happy. It is not always easy but help is at hand and changing the way we approach those feelings can help.

Here are some tips for beating those blues:

1 Make a plan of action: list the things you want to do start of with things that are achievable.
2 Break down the list into smaller steps as to how you will get there.
3 Imagine the outcome, no matter how outrageous the idea is, see it in your minds eye.
4 Never forget to dream. The subconscious mind will find a way to fullfil these dreams. It may not be tomorrow.
5 Take one day at a time and have a small goal for each day.
6 When we are feeling a bit low it is a natural tendency to cut ourselves off from our friends. Invite them over for coffee and a chat it will do you good.
And Finally:
7 Keep smiling! Even if you don't feel like it smile and it will become natural.

Take care
