Life can feel miserable at the end of the summer. You may have said 'goodbye' to friends or family who you're not going to see for a long time. There may be nothing to look forward to and the winter holidays seem a long way away. It's important to acknowledge these feelings and know why you're feeling a bit sad and take time to think about it. Knowing that you're having these feelings is the first step to being able to move forward and find a way of making yourself feel better. If you don't feel like you can move forward, it could be a good idea to visit your doctor and seek professional advice.
5 Ways to Beat the Post-Holiday Blues
- Get Involved: Find an activity or area of interest you really enjoy and volunteer, join a class, connect with others.
- Bringing gratitude into your daily life. Begin to list three things you feel grateful for each day and watch how more wonderful things start to come into your life.
- Practice some restorative yoga poses. Child's pose is great, or follow a restorative yoga session on YouTube. This is a lovely one to try.
- Remember, you are in charge of your feelings. Try and experiment and play with what helps you heal and feel complete again.
- Plan an event, whether it be a walk in the forest, a coffee with a friend or a holiday. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it does need to be a date in your diary and something you can look forward to.
