Are you suffering from the January blues?
The third Monday of January is known as Blue Monday as it is thought to be one of the most depressing days of the year. The combination of cold weather, post-Christmas debts and long, dark nights are thought to contribute to a general lowness of mood and feelings of discontent.
Self-storage may not sound like the most obvious solution for a dose of the January blues but giving yourself the gift of extra space can make a real difference to your daily life and help lift your mood. Here are four ways investing in a self-storage unit can help you feel more positive about the year ahead.
Clutter and mess at home makes it harder for you to unwind and relax and can contribute to feeling low. Many people make New Year’s resolutions to declutter and sort out their house but it can be difficult to know where to start and the task can seem overwhelming. Clearing your clutter into a self-storage unit can give you the space you crave straight away, while giving you time to sort out which items you want to keep and which you can rehome. Paying rent on a storage unit will give you an incentive to get the job done and removing your excess items from your home will allow you to see the benefits of having fewer things in your property.
Redecorating your home can help lift your mood and give you somewhere you feel happy to spend time in. One of the worst things about giving a room a makeover is working out what to do with the furniture you already have. If you keep the furniture in place, it is harder to give your room a new look and you run the risk of damaging your items with paint. However, it can be difficult to find space for bulky items elsewhere in your home and trying to squeeze them into another room can add to a feeling of disorganisation and chaos. Hiring a self-storage unit will give you somewhere safe and secure to keep your belongings so you can clear the room you are decorating and give it the makeover it needs. Andrew Porter Limited offers flexible solutions to self-storage so you can hire your unit for as long as you need, whether that it just a few days or a longer period.
Taking part in a hobby and developing an interest is great for mental wellbeing. Self-storage units can give you somewhere to keep equipment and items associated with your pastime so they don’t completely take over your home.

If you’re really tired of your daily routine, you may want a complete change of scene. Going travelling is a fantastic way of pressing the reset button and rediscovering what really makes you happy. But if you’re going away for a long time then you will need somewhere to store your belongings until you return. Andrew Porter has large units which are big enough to store all your prized possessions and keep them safe while you go on your big adventure.
