Listen to today's podcast...
It is Blue Monday….the most depressing day of the year.
The date was calculated by using many factors, including: weather conditions, debt level, time since Christmas, time since failing our new year’s resolutions, low motivational levels and feeling of a need to take action.
This isn’t a scientifically true formula, but it does point out several things that we already know. Our stress levels are impacted by many things such as negative weather conditions, lack of finances, unrealistic expectations and unmet goals. If all of these things come to a head at the same time, it certainly can make for a stressful or depressing time in our life.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
So here are Today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Blue Monday:
Get outside. Go for a walk. Even if it is a snowy, winter’s day, the benefits of getting a light break, beat staying indoors and moping around.
Turn today into a celebration. Plan special activities at work or going out with friends.
Start planning a vacation. Even just looking at beautiful vacation pictures has a positive impact on our mood.
Know though, that sometimes, it is okay to indulge in the blues. Wrap up in a cozy blanket, turn on that sappy movie, and let all of your emotions flow out.
If you think that you have moved beyond the blues, talk to your doctor. Seasonal Affective Disorders and Depression are serious and can spiral out of control quickly. The sooner you do, the better.
