Face the January Blues head on with these simple, but effective, tips from Wecasa
January can feel gloomy after the festive season, but prioritising self-care to beat the blues can make a big difference. Often the so-called “January blues” can have a lingering effect on your wellness and mood. However, Wecasa– the at-home mobile cleaning, wellness, beauty and home services app – is on a mission to bring awareness of how taking time for yourself can re-set your mind and help with mental health.
Here are some tips on how to lift your mood and reduce stress by focusing on yourself:
Schedule regular me-time for mindfulness: set aside specific moments during the week where you focus solely on yourself. This could be reading, a hobby, or even a nap. Make it non-negotiable. Mindfulness can bring you into the present and help you detach from stress. Use a few minutes each day to breathe deeply, meditate, or engage in grounding exercises. Try to practice gratitude by jotting down three things you’re grateful for each day, which can shift your focus away from stress and onto positivity.
Incorporate movement every day and prioritise sleep: exercise is a proven way to boost mood through the release of endorphins. Try yoga, stretching, or even a walk in nature. If you’re pressed for time, schedule a 20-minute workout or get outside for fresh air and a brisk walk. Getting a massage can also relieve muscle tension and reduce stress, helping you feel more grounded. Remember that sleep is crucial for mental well-being so make sure you’re getting 7-9 hours a night by establishing a calming bedtime routine. Light a candle, read, or enjoy a relaxing skincare routine to unwind before bed.
A healing home is a clean and tidy home: The home is a healing zone and one where comfort and happiness should take precedence. Having a clean home makes the mind relax, unwind and focus on putting yourself first. Getting a cleaner or making one day a week your “cleaning day” can take away anxiety, procrastination and ultimately ease your mind. It is about finding ways to let the daily chores benefit you and not be something you dread as this can truly make your mind and mood spin.
Services like Wecasa allow you to book home treatments like massages, facials, or haircuts, giving you a chance to unwind in the comfort of your home.
