Today is the Bluest Day of Year

Today is Blue Monday, which according to pseudo-science is the most depressing day of the year. 

Today is Blue Monday, which according to pseudo-science is the most depressing day of the year. 

There's no evidence to support the notion the third Monday of January is the glummest date on the calendar.

It started in 2005 when a UK travel company, Sky Travel, claimed to have calculated the date using an "equation" taking into account weather conditions, debt level, time since Christmas, and the time since failing our new year’s resolutions.

But true or not, given the pandemic, the Canadian Mental Health Association says if you want to beat the blues go out and exercise. 

You don't have to commit to an intense training routine or invest in expensive equipment. 

It's as simple as finding an activity you enjoy, whether that's a stroll outdoors or a brief dance break.
