Blue Monday

Our guest blogger - Claire Nelson, Perth College UHI Counsellor - writes:

So, we are well into January and, by now, our New Year’s resolutions may very well have been thrown out the window. We might have got ourselves into Christmas debt, the joys of Christmas Day are long gone, and it still seems like ages until January payday! Sound familiar? Oh, hello ‘Blue Monday’.

New Year, New Opportunities

Did you know, Friday 1st January is Commitment Day and Saturday 2nd January is Motivation/Inspiration Day? The New Year can be a really good opportunity to evaluate our lives. This year, more than ever.

2021

2021. The year all events will (hopefully) happen - when it didn’t in 2020. The United Nations declared 2021 as the International Year of Peace and Trust, the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development, and the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables.
