Today is what’s known as “Blue Monday.”
The third Monday after Christmas is the so-called “saddest day of the year.”
This is the case because people are feeling bad about their holiday debt levels and are struggling to keep their New Year’s resolutions.
One woman told 680News the dark cold days make her feel like it’s more like a blue winter.
“Every Monday sucks, let’s face it, but this Monday I’m feeling ok. The previous Monday was when I sort of felt it because everybody was back to school, people were back to work — the holidays are over, so reality kind of sets in,” she said.
Health professionals said to stave off bad feelings it’s recommended you exercise more, eat well and keep alcohol at a minimum.
