The third Monday in January has been named Blue Monday due to a combination of post-Christmas stress, those cold and dark nights spent indoors and us basically being extremely short on money. We asked our AOers how they plan to battle the blues on the 15th and we want to share the wealth.
If you feel down in the dumps this month, try these little tricks to cheer yourself up. They’re tried and tested, especially those moments of mindfulness.
Listen to upbeat music
Finish that thing you have been putting off for ages
Visit the AO Spa for a massage
Wear your best power suit
Start the day with a motivational quote
Take your work bestie and play some table tennis
Have a change of scenery and go for a team lunch
At the end of the day, write a list of things you’ve learnt
Go for a walk and clear your mind
Take some time to play on work’s PS4
Give everyone who helps you a heartfelt thank you
Visit the on site hair dresser – new hair, new you
Don’t email people, go and speak to them
