Every Day Magic: Ways to Help Beat the January Blues

I don't know about you, but I've been suffering quite badly from the January blues this year. The grim weather and awful world news haven't helped, as well as the fact that my beloved cat Tommy died suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this month. He was my companion in magic and I miss him a lot.

Here's a suggestion from the book Every Day Magic - A Pagan Book of Days, published by Moon Books, with some ideas for helping cheer oneself up.

Beat the January Blues: Wrap up warm, get outside and go for a walk in nature or in your local park to make the most of the daylight – even if that is just in your lunch hour. Make a donation to charity, even a very small one. In the evening, light a candle and meditate on its bright flame. 

Cuddling cats has also been shown to help lift moods. Apparently the way they purr is soothing. I'm making an extra fuss of Tommy's sister, Tuppence, who is still with us and hopefully will be for many years to come. You can see her in the photo above.

You can view the book Every Day Magic: A Pagan Book of Days on Amazon .
