Did you know that the most depressing day of the year is a Monday? This day, known as Blue Monday, is considered the third Monday of January every year. Accordingly, this year's Blue Monday was yesterday. This Monday, which falls in the middle of January, is called Blue Monday because it is the day when people fully return to their work and normal lives after the Christmas and New Year holidays.

This may not seem very relevant in our country, but it may be more appropriate for those living in foreign countries. Blue Monday is a term coined by UK travel company Sky Travel in a 2005 press release. The third Monday of January is described as the most depressing day of the year, pointing out factors such as financial difficulties after the holidays, bad weather, and failed New Year's resolutions. In some cases, the second and fourth Mondays of January are also referred to as Blue Mondays.

Although it is described as a gloomy Monday, Sky Travel says that this day should be seen as the beginning of a good change and that this day will help you to organize your life more with some realizations. It is believed that spending time positively on that day, such as spending time with loved ones, enjoying music and dancing, and finding time to walk a short distance, will make the coming days more energetic.
