Today is the most depressing day of the year. Read why – TVNOVINY.sk

This day brings several moments that can bother people. It’s after the weekend, the Christmas holidays are gone and the weather doesn’t help. It’s still cold and the days are short. This is also the third Monday in January, also called Blue Monday.

The English psychologist Cliff Arnall from Cardiff is behind this concept. The most depressing day of the year was first mentioned on January 24, 2005. Arnall also came up with a formula for calculating it.

In addition to the aforementioned weather or post-holiday period, the formula also included debts that one had earned before Christmas and the inability to repay them. It also includes the time that has passed since the New Year’s resolutions. Enough days passed to show if you were serious about them or not.

In addition to these motives, there is a marketing plan behind the Blue Monday concept, which is to encourage people to start buying tickets and traveling in January. There is a foreign travel agency behind him.

Those who are hit by Blue Monday or the entire season are advised by experts to embark on activities that make them happy. Exercise, walks, hobbies, music, a good movie or time spent with loved ones will help.
