It’s Blue Monday – the most depressing day of the year. What’s even worse is its snowing and Britain is coming to a halt around us. The winter feels like it’s here to stay and the first day of spring feels a million years away.
If you’re feeling glum, we have a few ideas that might help;
1. Try a new hobby!
Taking up a new hobby is often rewarding and socially exciting, which is especially welcome through the notorious doldrums of January. We, of course, suggest joining mystery shopping companies as a great idea to get interested in!
2. Get some sun.
Sunlight helps our bodies produce Vitamin D and Vitamin D is great for helping to boost the immune system. Do you find yourself with the winter sniffles through January? Even just getting out in the winter sun can help, especially if you’re walking through town on a mystery shopping trip! 'Seasonal Affective Disorder’ has also been linked to the lack of sunlight, so it could bring you out of the blues too.
3. Get your finances in check.
Now is the time to address the accumulated debt from the holidays. One of the keys factors in the January blues is worrying about debt. We pay our mystery shoppers for completing work for us as well as reimbursing them for purchases, so now would be the perfect time to complete some visits, get yourself a treat and give your credit card a break!
If your company’s customers are feeling under the weather, we could provide insight into why. For information on our services, please email info@retailactive.com.
