Before you join the million other people hating on January, you should know there are things you can do to help make it suck a little less.
Start doing these things if you want to get through January in one piece.
Fast
To make it better, some churches declare fasts in January. Even if you aren’t religious, you can pretend it’s because you want to lose the Christmas weight, and not because your account balance is dead and buried. You can’t go wrong with fasting.
Become an introvert
It’s not like there’s anywhere you can go. The parties are over, and most people are back to steady grinding.
But still attend owambes
People will still throw wedding parties every weekend like they’re not in this same Nigeria. That’s their own. Your own is to attend and eat free food.
Trek everywhere
Use it as a form of exercise. You can even think about your life and why you thought it was okay to finish your December salary before Christmas while at it.

Start fights for no reason
Because you need to let out your frustrations. Fight with danfo conductors, or just drag people on Twitter, if throwing physical blows isn’t your thing.
Drink more water
A wise woman once said, “The one whose stomach is filled with water doesn’t desire food” or something like that. To make yourself feel better, you can even say you’re doing it for clearer skin.
Become prayerful
Make no mistake, you’ll need an all-powerful force to keep you relatively sane this month. The good thing is it works hand-in-hand with fasting.
Try your hand at motivational quotes
You need to believe you can aspire to maguire because the 774 days in January will try to break your spirit. Be prepared.
