Now that the dust has settled from the hustle and bustle of the Christmas celebrations, we are now ready to ring in the new year! Many look forward to the New Year’s eve countdown and the breathtaking fireworks with much excitement. But as the calendar page is about to turn to 2023, others might feel a tad bit down.   

Perhaps you don’t feel good about how you overindulged last Christmas, or how your home feels empty now that everybody has gone home. Or perhaps the thought of taking down holiday decorations after ushering in the New Year might be making you sad and depressed. You may also not be too keen to go back to your regular daily routine next year just yet.  

If this is you, you may be experiencing the blues after Christmas. Let’s dive into what these are and how you can boost your spirits after the Christmas period!


What is Post-Christmas Blues?   

While it manifests symptoms similar to other mental health conditions, including sadness, headaches, lack of motivation, and insomnia, the post-Christmas blues are different from more serious mental health issues such as anxiety disorder. 

One major distinction is that post-Christmas blues last just a few weeks into the new year, said the US-based Center for Treatment of Anxiety and Mood Disorders. You can also still go about your everyday chores or routines. But speak to your doctor if you feel that you need someone to talk to about how you’re feeling. 

So, what’s causing the blues after the Christmas celebration? According to Noel Bell, a Clinical Psychotherapist in London, the condition has not been fully studied yet. But one of the factors that could trigger the symptoms is “the sudden withdrawal of stress hormones that follows a significant social event,” he wrote. 

Tips To Cheer You Up

Looking after your emotional well-being through some self-care routines may help improve how you’re feeling right now and cheer you up. Here are some tips that may help boost your spirit and make you feel excited about the new opportunities in the new year. 

1. Exercise

Get your fitness mode on. Sports Medicine Specialist Robert Gotlin of New York-based Lenox Hill Hospital notes that exercise plays a role not only in your fitness but also in your overall health and well-being.  

After overindulging in alcoholic drinks and sugary foods, it’s time to allot some workout time. You may start small by jogging or walking around the neighborhood daily. This will also allow you to get some fresh air to help boost your emotional and mental health. Or you can hit the gym and do some strength training or intense cardio exercises alone or with your fitness buddies.

2. Eat Healthy

Not only do nutritious foods make your body strong but they are also a mood booster. Some foods that have been found to boost your mental and emotional well-being include:

     • Omega 3 fatty acids such as salmon

     • Banana

     • Dark chocolate

     • Oats

     • Quinoa and sweet potatoes

     • Chicken, nuts, and soybeans

     • Eggs 

3. Create a To-Do List

It helps to occupy your mind with stuff that makes you feel more productive. A to-do list will allow you to be strategic, focused, and organized as you go about your tasks, therefore saving you a lot of energy, time, and resources. But keep your list simple - a maximum of 3 items - so as not to overwhelm and stress you out. 

4. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation

Being aware of the present moment and meditating are proven to improve your overall health and well-being. Studies have found mindfulness and meditation practices allow you to better manage your stress, anxiety, pain, depression, and other related symptoms.

5. Set Healthy Boundaries

Dr. Jo Nash, who obtained her Ph.D. in Psychotherapy Studies from the University of Sheffield in the UK, wrote that healthy boundaries create healthy relationships and are good for your psychological well-being. According to her, it's because boundaries define "our expectations of ourselves and others in different kinds of relationships.” 

Saying no to more social commitments for the New Year celebration is a healthy form of boundary. This way, you’re protecting your mind and body from the stress and exhaustion that come with attending festivities beyond what you can handle. 

6. Focus on “Me Time”

With a healthy boundary, you can focus more on recharging your batteries and doing the things that you love such as working out, going to the spa, and many more. Taking time to have a “me time” reduces your stress and anxiety as well as allows you to connect and understand your body and emotions. This enables you to better address your needs for the sake of your physical and mental health. 

The RENPHO Eye Spa Pods are designed to perk up tired and puffy eyes with three modes that allow you to switch between cool and warm temperatures. The cool mode can help you ease eye tension, reduce swelling, and refresh your eyes. The warm mode can help you accelerate eye recovery, improve blood circulation, and soothe your eyes. The cycle mode can help you enjoy the benefits of both cool and warm temperatures alternately. The device also has a built-in timer that lets you set the duration of your eye spa session from 10 to 30 minutes.

By using the Eye Spa Pods, you can create a serene and comfortable atmosphere for your me time. The device is made of soft and breathable fabric that is gentle on your skin. It also has an adjustable head strap that can fit different head sizes and shapes. The device covers your eyes completely, blocking out any external light and noise that may interfere with your relaxation. You can also connect the device to your phone via Bluetooth and play your favorite music, podcasts, or meditations.

 

Conclusion

Experiencing post-Christmas blues is real. During this time, be gentle with yourself and do activities that are good for your mental and emotional well-being. Focus on taking care of yourself to get you motivated and ready to start the new year right. But if you feel that you need support, don’t hesitate to reach out to your friends or your doctor for help.
