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?
