1 . Ask most people which day of the week they fear the most and the answer is likely to be Monday. The first day of the working week can make us experience a sense of tiredness or fatigue. 1
2 It’s the time of year when we’re supposedly feeling at our lowest and most “blue”. We’re thought to be more likely to feel down because the weather’s cold and we’re back at work. We’ve got to make up all the money we spent at Christmas and we’re feeling guilty for already breaking our New Year’s resolutions.
Some consider the term, pseudo-science, saying that there is no such thing as a 24-hour depression. 3 The decreasing motivation to work, the lack of interest in everything and the regret for what is not finished can be clearly felt on the first day of the week. 4 Someone who misses the deadline and cannot meet the standard at work affects the overall efficiency and teamwork within a project.
Fortunately, we don’t have to suffer that on Monday, not if we remember: we all have our good days and our bad days, and those aren’t for the calendar (日历) to decide. 5 Rather than automatically thinking we feel blue on Blue Monday, reflect on the well being of our mind, practice self-care and seek support when needed. In this way, we can weather the Monday blues and any other challenges that come our way.
