How to Survive the Post Holiday Blues

Now that the holidays are over, it is normal to feel a bit blue and let down. Cold weather and large credit card balances simply add to the January malaise. Here is how to survive without letting it get to you.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Put away the holiday decorations quickly, so they aren't a constant reminder of bygone festivities.
2. Make sure you know what your card balances are and what you need to do to bring them current. If you have a plan, you will feel better about your financial position.
3. Call at least one old friend per night to keep the blues away.
4. Make it a new habit to listen to a motivational tape or read some of a motivational book every morning before tackling your day. Anything by Brian Tracy or Anthony Robbins works wonders.
5. Read a joke book or listen to a comedy CD during your lunch hour or in the evenings. Humor works wonders in chasing the blues away!
