So today has been named ‘Blue Monday’, and is deemed the most depressing day of the year.
Well there’s an invitation then eh?
For many people, they will take that invite and decide that, yes, they ARE in fact having a miserable day – thank you for putting it into their heads. They are the ones who have been waiting for another excuse to spread some gloom around, and grace us with a miserable face.
If we didn’t know today had such an honour given to it, we would all carry on as if it was…well, just Monday, wouldn’t we?
Don’t get me wrong, it’s cold, we might be counting the pennies until pay day, and we may not feel on top form.
But come on, let’s not make it bigger and badder than it is!
Here’s my advice – tell ‘Blue’ Monday to ‘sod off’ and make today, the start of a great week, by:
1. Thinking about the stuff in your world that’s pretty damn good (sunshine, family, friends, health, your beauty….you choose!).
2. Making people smile, go on…give them one of yours, it doesn’t hurt.
3. Promising yourself that only YOU decide if its a good/tough day .
You and you alone are in charge of how you feel – and no one’s gonna make you feel low, unless you allow it.
So there you have it – Blue Monday is a load of old cobblers. Let’s re name the day ‘Monday’, and make the best of all of it.
I’m off to EAT CAKE,
