Beat those January blues

Some ideas to help you kickstart 2022

January 18, 2022

Christmas is over and suddenly we are in January and the middle of winter. The bank account is unhappy, the bills feel like they are rocketing, the bathroom scales...lets not talk about the scales. And especially after the last year with the pandemic, and then a busy Christmas it can feel as though our moods have fallen off a cliff edge. Some people really struggle with this time of year and most of us need a pick-me-up.⁠

⁠We can start the new year with a list of resolutions but more often than not and particularly at the moment, especially with working from home due to the pandemic, we can need a little encouragement to get the wheels turning again but also, to take care of our wellbeing.⁠

⁠⭐️But have no fear...M.Y.O to the rescue!⁠⭐️

⁠We've put together our list of feel good tips to help you fill January and beyond with vitality and joy and get through the darker days of winter a little easier.  We hope you find it inspiring.

 

You could... 

Make time to rest and put your feet up, take a long bath and unwind, cook something you haven't cooked before, have a buddy call, top up on some vitamins. 

Or you could.... 

Brave the cold and head out for a walk, make your bed just the way you like it, danca dance dance, stay hydrated with lots of water or celebrate everything with a 'yay'.

Or you could....

Try something new, make a gratitude jar and fill it each day, put pen to paper and do some journalling or write to an old friend, plant something (even if you don't have a garden).

Or you could... 

Send a letter to a relative, be creative with arts and crafts, love and be kind to yourself, read more books - start with a page a day and see how it goes. 

Or you could... get creative with M.Y.O

M.Y.O is London’s favourite creative studio for grown ups so it was only natural for the company to launch their workshops in kit form during the pandemic. 

M.Y.O have helped 10,000s of guests and 100s of companies like Monzo, LinkedIn, Virgin and Google get creative. With one of our creative kits, anyone can try out a new skill at home and every kit comes with a full set of instructions and a link to an online video as a guide. 

Perfect for gifting to someone special or to keep for yourself, why not try something new  and de-stress. We know you are creative, everyone is, we're here to help!
