Blue Monday refers to a concept that the third Monday in January is the most depressing day of the year. Coined by psychologist Cliff Arnall in 2005, the idea was formulated using a pseudoscientific equation that takes into account factors like gloomy weather, post-holiday debt, and failed New Year’s resolutions. Although not scientifically validated, Blue Monday has gained traction as a cultural phenomenon, capturing the collective post-holiday blues and the struggle to reinvigorate oneself during the dark winter months.
With the festive season behind us and January pay day still feeling like a long way away, it’s easy to feel blue especially on “the most depressing day of the year”. So what’s the antidote?
