It is normal and common to feel blah in January as you grapple with post-holidays exhaustion and unrealistic expectations for how you’d feel once the new year arrives. 

 

It’s common to enjoy concentrated pleasures over the holidays. A concentrated pleasure yields an excessive amount of dopamine quickly. 

 

Which of these concentrated pleasures do you seek?

  • sugar/flour
  • alcohol
  • drugs
  • social media
  • shopping
  • video games
  • Netflix
  • porn
  • risky behaviors
  • gambling 
  • Which of these simple pleasures do you actually enjoy?

    • exercise
  • rest/nap
  • water
  • reading
  • time with family/friends
  • healthier foods
  • a hot shower
  • massage
  • sex
  • gardening/hiking
  • pets
  • art/creativity
  • time in nature
  • A few questions for your consideration:

    • Which concentrated pleasures are you willing to take a break from?
  • Which simple pleasures are you willing to prioritize?
