Blue Monday…does it really exist? WE DON’T THINK SO!

• Dream job
• New Year
• Niche Recruitment

Researchers have dubbed the third Monday of January every year as Blue Monday. Today (January 18th 2021) is apparently the most depressing day of the year with people’s moods being affected by their post-Christmas finances, the cold weather,  unsuccessful New Year’s resolutions and the long wait for the summer. However,  there is no scientific proof behind this claim and in fact, the day was originally created in 2005 by an American holiday company as a PR ploy to sell more holidays!

Well, here at Niche Recruitment we have decided to flip Blue Monday on its head and make it as positive as possible! We are all having a cup of positivi-tea! You can make the choice as well! Either you can choose to believe that today will be grim and depressing, or you can choose to believe it will be a beautiful day, after all.

Here are some reasons to be happy in January:

• • It’s the start of a fresh New Year of opportunities
  • Enjoy the cold cosy nights in with your loved ones and Netflix!
  • Take up a new hobby, or revive old ones!
  • Focus on organisation and de-clutter your work or home space
  • Get at least 20 minutes of exercise per day for a healthier body and mind
  • Delve into a new bestseller and escape at the end of a busy day!
  • Above all, relax more. January is the one month that doesn’t have a ‘holiday’ so create a YOU day!
  • Utilise your skills with a new career move! Here at Niche, we are armed and ready to help with your job search!

Finally remember, the power is in your hands today! After all, you don’t be blue just put the kettle on and have a brew!
