You started off the New Year with lofty goals and boundless enthusiasm, but come February you may find your inspiration lacking.
Jonathan Alpert, psychotherapist and author of Be Fearless: Change Your Life in 28 Days says the February blues are a result of the lull that occurs around this time of year after the festivities of the New Year. "From November to January 1st we have a lot to look forward to and abruptly it seems to end," he says. And if you live in the cold north, you may also find your motivation waning after months of being trapped indoors. The winter blues not only affect your mood and can hinder your social life, but can impact your productivity at work.
