As the chaos of the holidays gradually wind down and everyone settles into their routines again, it is not uncommon for the slow cold grasp of the winter blues, to begin to slowly tighten around some, this is how WintertimeWorries, one of our treasured readers felt leaving the past behind and welcoming the New Year.
Dear 7witches,
Without fail every year the month of January becomes almost unbearable. I no longer have shopping, planning and wrapping to do. The kids go back to school and I have to return to work and deal with all the stress and dream of when I can take my next holiday. I know I should be excited and attacking my resolutions for the year, but i cant seem to get the strength to do anything. Do you have any spells, rituals or suggestions to get me through the darkest month of the year?

Seasonal frustrations can alter one’s perception of the worth of others and their own self-worth, which can lead to the neglect of many aspects of life. The Mind, Body and Spirit are all intertwined and related to one another, hence the need to take care of all three simultaneously to overcome this hurdle while remaining happy. While some practices will resonate well with some not all will, as humans, it is our nature to be different from others, choose what works for you, always.
