"Blue Monday 2012"
“Blue Monday 2012”
by Moodpanda.com
This Monday the 16th of January is “Blue Monday”, said by some to be statistically the most depressing and unhappy day of the year. Here at moodpanda.com we have been tracking a overall drop in mood as we entered January.
This date is calculated from a number of factors that coincide in the middle of January. Firstly, people are suffering the come down of the Christmas season. It is also around this time that credit card bills start to appear on the door mat.
If you started the year with a resolution to make a big change, you may well be one of the millions who have let that slip by the way side by this time in January.
Looking forward, the weather is likely to get colder and with the next Bank holiday not until Easter its easy to see why “Blue Monday” gets its name.
But don’t worry too much, there is something you can do. Why not logon to moodpanda.com?
MoodPanda.com is a community of friendly people who regularly update their mood, share problems and celebrate each others’ happiness. Testimonials from users have shown that being part of such a caring community, and focussing on one’s happiness, as well as the happiness of others can actually lead to improvement in overall mood. It’s another weapon in our “happiness arsenal” for beating the Winter Blues!
Time will tell which day of 2012 will see us at our lowest. We will soon see how our mood changes with the Olympics approaching. MoodPanda.com will continue to monitor and report it live on their Website throughout the year
