So today it is apparently the most depressing day of the year!

I woke up feeling like butter today, only the gym cheered me up πŸ™‚

Im definitely not a January / Winter person.

Any Blue Monday effects on you?

Well, the life style press says that Monday 16th 2017 is considered the most depressing day of the year because the high of the xmas /ny's parties is gone, people have less money and it is extremely cold and grey (Im in Europe).

I was sort of glad to read it is Blue Monday today. It justified my (bad) mood. πŸ˜‰

Lol that makes sense. I don't feel blue, I'm kinda neutral today. I have a lot to do and I'm distracted, it's not necessarily negative though.

My winters get ridiculously cold normally (imo) but it has been incredibly warmer than usual. In the 50s-60s. Not sure what that is in Celsius off the top of my head. That's enough to make my mood a little better!

Thats good! Looks more like a Yellow Monday πŸ™‚

Glad it is not blue to everyone!

I'm a spring/summer person also. Winter depresses me. It's cold. It's monochromatic. The tree look stripped without leaves, like nature's slaves shaven and clipped.

I wear something colorful and it lifts my spirits a bit. Even wearing pastel spring colors and clothes helps me look forward to spring. I do yoga and exercise getting myself in shape for warmer weather. For me, winter is just to be endured. Monday has nothing to do with it. It's just the SEASON.

Precisely. I feel like Winter, mainly January, it is a month I have to endure!

December not so much because on my side there is always 10000 things happening: xmas dinners, buying gifts, getting ready for holidays....but January, oh January, you kill me!

Sports definetly help! Still need to give yoga a try!

I am sick of this fucking cold weather.

You bet!!!

It makes me numb, not wanting to go out. And if I dont go out, I become this cranky person.

It is making me much more active on Dxpnet as well as I dont feel like leaving the house that much πŸ™‚

Hmm, that's interesting because Sunday at work everyone was in a miserable mood, a lot of my co-workers were arguing with each other and just cranky in general. I think it's just that time of year. February is usually the worst for me.

Offices should give us the first 2 weeks of Jan off work! πŸ˜‰

It is definilty the time of the year. I spent Xmas on the beach and coming back to the cold winter didn't help at all!

By February my body is usually already adpated. So I hope.

They should do that πŸ™‚ I work in a restaurant so we're never off. And people just have no filter in the kitchen when they're angry lol. Christmas on the beach must've been so nice. But I can see how coming back to the cold would be twice as hard after being on the beach and enjoying the warm sun. I love the winter, but when it drags on too long it gets depressing.

I part timed in restaurants while studying! Oh my...the new ways of swearing I learned in those kitchens! πŸ˜„

It's 630am. I am just starting my day but the list reminds me of how much I like this song. I'm gonna by to listen to it all day and feel better.

I think you will have a fab day!!

By the first few seconds I swear I thought this was Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams. It has a similar beat!
