Forgot your 2021 resolutions already? Avoid the Blue Monday gloom and get back on track with these self-care tips.

Those days around the holidays that aren&#39;t for celebrating&nbsp;and yet&nbsp;still define the season:&nbsp;Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and...<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/blue-monday-2021-uk-why-today-b1788755.html" target="_blank">Blue Monday</a>? The name&nbsp;may not ring an immediate bell, but there&#39;s no doubt we&#39;ve all&nbsp;particpated in it&#39;s unpleasantries. The third Monday in January is statistically shown to be the point in the new year when the excitement of a fresh start has worn off and resolutions are left unfulfilled, leaving us a bit discouraged and blue (hence the name).

This year, don&#39;t let Blue Monday get you down. If we learned anything from 2020, it&#39;s that people are resilient. Whether you decided 2021 would be the year you become a yogi, abstain from alcohol, or finally set up your side hustle, there&#39;s still 347 days left to meet your goal.&nbsp;L&#39;OFFICIEL&nbsp;is here to help you stay on course, whatever that may look like for you, with five tips to reinvigorate your new year&#39;s resolutions.&nbsp;

Limiting your liquor doesn&#39;t&nbsp;have to look dry. Throwing a couple decorative additions into your zero-proof cocktail can be the difference between keeping your promise to yourself and slipping. Give these bartender-approved gorgeous&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/best-non-alcoholic-drinks-dry-january-2021" target="_blank">non-alcholic drinks</a> a try from Ghia, Lyres, Proteau, and more.&nbsp;

Make Time for Meditation&nbsp;

Making&nbsp;meditating&nbsp;a&nbsp;habit could be the thing that keeps you on track to acheiving the goals&nbsp;you set for this year. There&#39;s no denying this is a stressful and fast-paced world we are living in, and taking time to recenter is important. Don&#39;t know where to start? Try an&nbsp;easy-to-use app like <a href="https://lofficielbaltics.com/en/lifestyle/5-apps-that-will-change-your-way-of-meditating" target="_blank">Headspace, Happify, or Calm to guide your meditation</a>.
