Now that the holiday season is winding down, it’s a great time to check in with yourself and your mental health.

Here are some tips to help you beat the post-holiday blues:

➡️ Ease back into routine. Re-establish regular sleep, meals, and movement
➡️ Stay connected. Reach out to friends, family, or coworkers. Social connection matters after a busy season.
➡️Set small, realistic goals. Focus on one or two manageable goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed in the new year.

If you need support, your primary care provider, PCN or a trusted member of your health team can help connect you with supports and resources.🤍
