Here we are again, so-called Blue Monday, crowned by a travel company as the gloomiest day of the year. In reality, it’s largely a marketing ploy designed to capitalise on the post-holiday slump, and remind us just how long January can feel.
Still, let’s be honest, the third Monday of this bleak month can feel miserable no matter what. Christmas is a distant memory, spring feels impossibly far away, and even the middle of the week seems like a mirage. If the thought of Blue Monday has got you down, consider this your survival guide to getting through the day.
