A Case of the Januarys...

This week I have been feeling in a bit of a funk, for no real reason at all. In fact, pretty much everything in my life is going well, so there is seriously nothing for me to feel funk-y about. After much thought, I have narrowed down the issue, and the issue is that we're stuck in the middle of cold, event-less January.

Do you ever feel this post-holiday let-down too? I was okay for the first few weeks, just recovering and enjoying the free time. But now, I feel like there's not a lot to look forward to. Each evening when I get home seems monotonous (even though it's really not, it just feels like it).

BTW: Don't you like my creative shots of me feeling blah? :)

So it's time to combat this evil. Here's my two-minute brainstorm on what I am going to do to fix it. What are YOU doing to fix your blahs?

* Push myself to work out and get outside when possible. This always, always helps me, and with the upcoming spring weather, the fresh air will do a body good. Hopefully.

* Go somewhere on weeknights. It won't be somewhere that necessarily costs anything, but maybe hitting up a local park, taking a walk around the neighborhood, or meeting up with a friend at their apartment to hang out.

* Take this time to do things I don't usually have time for - like reading a book (see Resolution #4) or doing something artsy-craftsy in the condo.

* Call my friends more often. I am a phone-talker. Some of my favorite friends aren't, but whatever, they put up with me :)

* Wear bright colors. I've gotta remember to put some hot pinks and sunny yellows in rotation to pop amidst this winter dreariness.
