Put a little light in your life
January days are short and nights are long and dark so it's important to make the most of what daylight there is. Your body needs Vitamin D to ensure that bones and skin are kept healthy and normally you'd get that from sunlight.

Make it your mission to get out in the January sunshine, for there will be some - even if it's just 10 minutes at lunchtime. Wrap up warm and take a walk in the park or even just to the corner shop. Remember to tilt your face up to get the maximum amount of light possible.
The pleasure is in the anticipation
Remember when you were a child and you just couldn't wait for Christmas to come? The anticipation was a massive part of the fun. Well, Christmas has now passed but January is the perfect month to plan a summer holiday. Arm yourself with holiday brochures or look up exotic destinations online. You'll enjoy January so much more when you have that hot, sunny beach to look forward to and if you can't wait that long, plan a winter sports holiday for February or March.
Get that special sense of well-being that comes from good food
January is an excellent time to meet up with friends for dinner or lunch. Cooking together and planning delicious winter meals is surely one of the best ways to enjoy January.

Perhaps you're trying to cut down after the excesses of the festive season. Try creating healthy meals with seasonal vegetables or just throw caution to the wind, buy a haggis, some potatoes, neeps and whisky and organise a Burn's Supper at the end of the month.
Stay active during January
Did you make New Year resolutions? We guarantee that getting fitter, slimmer or healthier was in there somewhere. January is a great time to be active and no matter how chilly it is outdoors, you'll feel so much better if you make the effort to go to the gym or swimming pool. Take advantage of the weather to try ice-skating or skiing or get your bike out and cycle to work. Even a walk or run each day counts.
Treat yourself to a winter makeover

You'll enjoy January so much more if you look and feel fantastic. Book a manicure and pedicure, have a sauna or treat yourself to a new haircut and colour or a relaxing massage. There are lots of great offers to be found throughout the month and you can combine a visit to your favourite salon or spa with a day at the January sales.
