Apparently today - the 3rd Monday in January each year - is what people are calling Blue Monday because it is meant to be the most depressive day of the year!
Bills from Christmas arrive on the door mat, the celebrations are over, the weather has been the topic of conversation for too long now, and worst of all the New Year resolutions have gone out the window so maybe not so surprising after all. But it is also one of the most popular days to book your summer holiday so what a contrast.
So how can we not make this a Blue Monday for ourselves? Personally I am all fired up about this year because my focus has changed in a way. I am more determined than ever to make this year the best ever. Why because my passion is still as strong as it has always been but I have realised that I have been procrastinating in many ways. We all do. We all have great ideas and goals we set ourselves but how often do we let them slip just a little bit and then before you know it we have lost the momentum.
I watched a brilliant speaker this morning Brendon Buchard talking about 'Life's Golden Ticket' and can highly recommend him. If you can't find him on Google or YouTube just type in something inspiring and watch any film you fancy. Something funny maybe which will make you laugh.
Or watch any film on TED talks and I hope that something will resonate with you to fire you up again too. Don't let today be a Blue Monday for you. If it is, then just turn it around with something to uplift you and let it go because today is only one day in the rest of your life.
