The headlines from last year stated - British psychologist calculates "most depressing day" and his calculations came determined that day to be January 24.
Quoting from the article,
The equation is broken down into seven variables: (W) weather, (D) debt, (d) monthly salary, (T) time since Christmas, (Q) time since failed quit attempt, (M) low motivational levels and (NA) the need to take action.
Wonderful, just wonderful.
Do I share this to give us license to feel badly, walk around moping or looking like we just ate a lemon today?
Hardly.
I share this to help us all prove the good doctors wrong today. I'm sure there is some validity in the equation - each of the factors listed could seem to have some impact on a person's mental state - but none of them have to.
Here is my challenge to you.
Make it a great day. Make it a day where your heart and mind and spirit soar.
If the weather is gray and foggy, so what. Are you going to let water droplets influence your day?
If you have already back slid on your New Year's Resolution, that trend can be reversed... starting today.
If you have more bills than you wish you did, don't spend any money today.
When you see someone smile, smile back.
When you are in your car, let the person merge.
When you think someone is being mean, look for a different explanation.
When you feel blue, think yellow.
Read a book you love.
Watch something that makes you laugh.
Serve your Customers with cheer, knowing you can positiviely influence their day by your interaction.
While I could type all day, you get the picture. What am I really saying?
Make a choice.
Make a choice to create a great day today.
Make a choice to make January 24 your best day of the year so far.
It is off to a good start.
Use today as a test case for yourself. After all, if you can make it a great day on the "most depressing day of the year" you can do it anytime!
