Holidays Blues in January? No Way!

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

Experts say that many of us experience post-holiday blues in January. We have some great advise on how to help you avoid the winter doldrums and beat post-holiday depression!

1. Set your sights on the year ahead with New Year’s Resolutions:

Internationally Certified Life Coach, Amy Ahlers advises her clients to use January as a time for resolutions and goal setting.  “It’s a way for you to look at what you want to create for the year ahead. And, when you’re in the mode of creation, it’s hard to find the space to be depressed!”  To get started, she recommends beginning with the vision of where we want to be. By answering the following questions and writing them down:

What’s the story I want to be telling about this year? “I built by first brand new home!”

What is my #1 focus/goal for the year? “Building an energy efficient High Performance home by Campbell Homes!”

What MUST occur in order for this year to be considered a “success”? “I must take advantage of the best time in the last 50 years to purchase a new home!”

What MUST STOP in order for this year to be considered a “success”? “I must stop making excuses and putting off the decision to sell my existing home.”

Resolve that you will take advantage of today’s historically low interest rates, excellent selection of new homes, and incredible prices available from a new homebuilder in your area.

2. Avoid New Years’ Resolution Burn Out by taking baby steps:

One of the most frequent causes of post-holiday blues is repeated New Years’ Resolution failure. Often we make a resolution that’s just too big to accomplish in a few weeks.  Ahlers recommends that clients set reasonable time frames for accomplishing goals and resolutions by tackling them in baby steps that will allow for success.  As a Life Coach, Ahlers recommends taking baby steps for resolutions and goals that take many months to accomplish as long as steady progress is being made.

“I will meet this week with a Realtor to discuss putting my existing home up for sale.”

“I will meet next week with a lender to determine how much new home I qualify for.”

“I will visit the Campbell Homes model homes to select the ideal new home in Colorado Springs for my family!”

Baby step your way to a new home in Colorado Springs in 2012!

3. Have a “Big” Project:

The holidays are a huge project that sucks up your time, energy, and patience all at once. Perhaps what your blues are telling you is that you are, quite frankly, bored and need a new project. Ahlers recommends now as the right time to take on a new project that feels big and exciting.

So get rid of the post-holiday blues by setting your sights ahead to a new year and a big project – your brand-new home.  But remember to take it one step at a time and “baby step” your way to accomplishing your New Year’s resolutions!

At Campbell Homes we know there’s nothing bigger and nothing more exciting than a brand new home! If your New Year’s resolution includes taking advantage of the best time in the last 50 years to purchase a brand new home, give us a call.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised at just how easy accomplishing this goal really can be!
