According to the National Mental Health Association, many people deal with "holiday blues," and even more people experience "post-holiday let-down" after Jan. 1 as a result of disappointments during the preceding months, excess fatigue from the holidays, and stress. Real estate professionals who experience post-holiday doldrums or depression can feel ill-equipped to tackle the New Year, which could adversely affect their sales volume at the beginning of the year.
