Banish those Post Christmas Blues

We make new year's resolutions for all kinds of reasons; the start of a new year feels significant and should be marked with new guidelines and guidance, we feel let down by our efforts last year or simply that everyone else is making them and we feel obliged.

Whatever the reasons, it is highly likely that come February the 1st you will either have forgotten your pledge to yourself or have simply crumbled under the constant pressure of life. This leaves us feeling defeated, deflated and disappointed in ourselves. This is no way to banish those post Christmas blues.

We spend hours thinking of the 'ideal' gift to give, we write lists of who we must buy for, we write hundreds of cards needing hundreds of stamps, we go crazy stocking our cupboards with 'nibbly bits' and quirky drinking atire that we don't need and probably won't use. We invite people over for 'festive cheer' and spend more time with the family. We put lights up, we put trees up, we cover our lives in tinsel and a permanent smile. We dress up and go out and socialise with those we would never dream of socialising with in a million years but you do it because it is Christmas and anything goes at this time. We sing songs and eat cake and drink more than we like to. We stay up late and get up early and light the fire.

Then suddenly, we realise the gifts have all been opened, the food has been scoffed, the fire has gone out, the family have left and the tree needs to come down. Our lives which have been hanging at the top of the log flume in excitement for the last few months, have now reached the bottom when we realise we are wet and cold and the thrill is over. Then to top it all off, the credit card bill arrives through the post.

It is little wonder at this time, we choose to make some better choices for ourselves; no alchohol for the month of January, loose that stone you just put on eating turkey and chocolates, start going to the gym, stop going to the pub, pay off that debt. Why is it then, we find it almost impossible to stick to it?

'United Unique' (a partnership of 4 professionally trained life coaches) bring you the answer and just in the nick of time. They are hosting a 3 hour 'Mastering Your Future' workshop in Glasgow, Kelvingrove Museum Saturday 16th January 2010, 10am-1pm.
