It’s the Christmas comedown, winter blues, that time of the year when you feel generally sorry for yourself, and you need a bit of TLC.<\/p>\n

Taking time to look after yourself and recharge is super-important for nannies. You can’t nurture your charges and be infinitely patient if you’re feeling down in the dumps. Try a few of these to put a spring in your step and show yourself some love.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Put on fluffy socks and make a cup of hot chocolate to warm you up<\/p>\n

2. Watch a feel-good movie, with popcorn and\/or ice cream<\/p>\n

3. Have a long bath with a sparkly bath bomb or divinely scented bath oil<\/p>\n

4. Get a new haircut<\/p>\n

5. Paint your nails a bright colour<\/p>\n

6. Redecorate, or change the look of your room by getting some new bedlinen<\/p>\n

7. Call a friend you haven’t talked to for ages and catch up<\/p>\n

8. Get an adult colouring book and some pencils or pens<\/p>\n

9. Give yourself a luxurious foot treatment and pedicure – get a headstart for sandals in summer<\/p>\n

10. Try mindfulness – you can download the Headspace app<\/a> for your phone<\/p>\n

11. Eat more greens (seriously, it will make you feel tons better)<\/p>\n

12. Volunteer for a community project – doing good for others will make you feel good too<\/p>\n

13. Vent, and then delete it or burn the paper you’ve written on to get rid of all the negative energy<\/p>\n

14. Book that appointment with the dentist or the doctor you’ve been putting off, including your smear<\/p>\n

15. Say NO to things you don’t want to do, and YES to what makes you happy<\/p>\n

16. Sing, clinically proven<\/a> to be good for you<\/p>\n

17. Sleep – after all we’re designed to sleep more in winter, so switch off your phone and get an early night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
