One Darlington January 2020

Don’t
worry
Budget your
money
Christmas is such an
expensive time and if you are
worried about money don’t put off
getting advice as soon as you can.
Debt can quickly spiral if you don’t take
steps to get on top of it, so don’t put it off.

Live your best life in 2020 with our
guide to getting the New Year off to a
positive start!
Ok so it’s January, its cold and it’s dark
and if that wasn’t enough your bank
balance isn’t looking too healthy and you
can’t fit into your pre-Christmas jeans!
The festivities are over for another year
and there’s weeks of long winter nights
looming.
You can’t blame anyone for feeling a bit
flat at this time of year. In fact the most
depressing day of the year, also known
as Blue Monday, falls on 20 January.
However there’s loads of
positive stuff you can
do to banish the
January blues and
get your year off
on the right foot.
Be
happy
Be kind
to yourself
Make it your mission every
day to find some time for
yourself and do something that
brings you joy!
Sounds easy but busy lives sometimes
stop us looking after our own health and
wellbeing.
The New Year is a great time to get into
new habits so why not fit some me time
into your daily routine?
Career
It’s never too late to start
working towards your
dream career – remember
everyone has to start
somewhere to make a change, so whether
it’s qualifications or experience you need,
make sure you have an achievable plan in
place to get to where you want to be.
