2. READ

Even if you’re not really a big reader, it’s a great way to disconnect from your everyday. So ditch your IG feed, delete the Tweet you were just writing and get buried in a book, magazine or even your favourite blog. You’ll definitely feel better for it. If you haven’t already, check out this bestseller and Hollywood-bound thriller, The Silent Patient.

 

 

3. HOST A GAL’S NIGHT

Been a while since you’ve seen your best ones? Blue Monday is the perfect opportunity to catch up and forget about your worries, so invite the gals round for Netflix, pizza, snacks and gossip. Hell, why not crack open a bottle of wine and create your first Tik Tok vid? Sometimes the best therapy is just belly laughing with your closest pals.

Haven’t planned your 2020 yet? Grab a notebook and pen and physically write down what you want to achieve in the next year.
