My 2 Cents: The post-holiday blues

Eric Chilton discusses how to deal with "the thrill is gone" feeling after the holidays.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — So, the holidays are over and for some, that means the post-holiday blues have set in. Some also call this post-vacation syndrome. It's basically the big adrenaline letdown after the excitement of the holidays or a vacation. Scientists say it's actually a thing. 

Now, I know I have this because I am leaving my decorations up for a few more nights just because I felt like Christmas went too fast. I may even listen to a few more holiday tunes before all is said and done. Now, doctors say you can get out of this with a few easy steps like surrounding yourself with people that make you happy as well as giving yourself some "you time". Now, this truly has to be YOU alone.  I have taken this advice and it actually worked.  No more was I having difficulty concentrating or feeling tired.

But remember this. The holidays will return and until then I probably just need to focus on getting rid of holiday debt. That won't cause me any stress at all. LOL

But that's just My 2 Cents.
