Did you have a hard time getting started this Monday or are you not feeling great? Then you have at least a few symptoms of Blue Monday! Don't get stuck in this listless feeling and get a boost from these five tips, of which you definitely shouldn't miss the last one!

WHY BLUE MONDAY?

Actually, the bleh feeling is somewhat explainable; the holidays are over and we go outside less because the sun doesn't show itself that often. To book a trip to the sun right away is also something, hence these 5 tips to get through this day a little happier.

ADJUST YOUR GOOD RESOLUTIONS

Have you been a little too enthusiastic about dieting, exercising, eating healthy or another good intention? Don't be too strict with yourself and adjust your goal, that way you can keep it up longer. Work towards it in small steps, write down your progress and reward yourself when you have taken another step in the right direction!

MAKE YOUR HOUSE SMELL NICE

Try to relax and make sure your home smells nice. A nice scent can make you feel relaxed and better. Did you know that you can buy delicious Hibi 10 min aroma matches at Roppongi. You read that right, matches and not incense sticks. Funny right? You light a match, place it on a fireproof mat and enjoy 10 minutes of a pleasant aroma! Treat yourself to a portion of Zen time every day. An absolute favorite scent of mine is Sandalwood! Love it

WATCH SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY

Put your phone down for a moment and put on a nice series or movie. I can really enjoy a good old feelgood movie, or how about an episode of Friends? If you have Netflix, you can definitely entertain yourself for the rest of the day.

COOK YOUR FAVORITE MEAL

Eat what you like best today and don't count calories, tomorrow is another day! If this is one of those days where you don't want to be in the kitchen at all, order your favorite dish.
