Blue Monday: What makes this day so sad and how can you get through it?

Today is a special day. It does not specifically refer to a holiday or a special tradition. The exact opposite. Are you feeling tired, depressed and exhausted today? do you want to go home? Having a really gloomy start to the week? There is no reason to despair. Because today is officially the most depressing day of the year.

What is Blue Monday?

“Blue Monday”, called the darkest day, was created in 2005 by psychologist Cliff Arnall from Cardiff University. He found this out using a system of mathematical equations, according to “The Independent Online.” Arnall found that most people see pitch darkness today. The weather is bad, it’s still getting dark fast. Christmas shopping has completely emptied your wallet and your New Year’s resolutions have already been broken.

Why do we feel so sad?

But that’s not all. “We get up later on weekends. “That’s why we go to bed late on Sunday and wake up grumpy on Monday,” says Phillip Hodson, assistant professor at the British Counseling Association. Additionally, according to Hodson, we become less happy with our appearance because we overdo it during the holidays. Of course, experts also have advice. Exercise, a good conversation, reading an exciting book, a walk or a nice cup of tea are tips to combat the “hangover” on Blue Monday.

When is Blue Monday?

The most muggy day of the year is calculated using a formula.

[W + (D-d)] x Tq ÷ [M x Na]

Among other things, it takes into account parameters such as post-Christmas melancholy, broken New Year’s resolutions and temperatures. More precisely: weather (W), debts (D) minus January salary (d), time since Christmas (T), time since good intentions failed (q), motivation gap you’re in (M). ) and the feeling of having to do something (Na). No wonder so many people are feeling down these days.

Is this all just a joke?

No matter how serious the formula seems, Blue Monday is not scientifically proven. In fact, Arnall’s research was commissioned by the then travel company Sky Travel, presumably in a bid to sell more holiday trips to sunny countries.

But what actually exists is the phenomenon of so-called winter depression. This is primarily due to lack of light in winter and genetic factors. Unlike “real” depression, “winter depression” is seasonal and usually goes away as soon as spring arrives.
