That's from an old Calgon bath soap commercial. However, books work, also. Your library, online sources, or a good magazine is a good start. Get lost in a good story, and you entire attitude can shift gears. Have a good read today! (Italy, maybe? Just dreaming!)
Worry can be a bee in your bonnet. Your first step is to identify what makes you anxious or sad. Share your feelings with family or friends (anyone you can trust). Your pastor or a professional counselor is also a good resource. Smash that worry source, and you'll be on the road to a happier January!
Natural light increases serotonin in the brain, and that can improve your mood. So, take advantage of the available sunlight, and YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. If it's too cold to be outside, a sunny window will do almost as well. Here's to a happier you!
Early January sunsets can upset our normal sleep schedules, leaving us irritable, anxious, or worried. Three hours before bedtime, cut back on caffeine, excess liquids, and heavy foods. You will sleep better and feel more refreshed the next morning. Brighter days are on the way!
Even if it's cold, drive with your sunroof open for a while. Embrace the brisk air. If you don't have a sunroof, sit outside with a hot drink, or take a walk by the lake or in the park. Dress warmly, and you'll feel like a new person when you're finished. Caution: You might even want to do it again! Have fun on this last day of 2023!
