Today is often called Blue Monday and is apparently the most depressing day of the year.
I’m not sure how helpful labels like that are, but I do know that mid-January can feel heavy for a lot of people.
The sparkle of Christmas has gone.
The days are still dark.
Motivation can dip.
And there’s often a quiet pressure to feel positive or 'back to normal'.
If today feels a bit flat, please know there’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re not behind.
And you’re not failing at January.
This time of year asks us to be gentler, to slow down, and to check in with ourselves and with each other.
So if you can today:
• take a proper breath
• get a little fresh air
• reach out to someone you trust
• or give yourself permission to rest
And if things feel heavier than usual, support is always available. You don’t have to carry it alone.
Be kind to yourself today. Sometimes feeling amazing starts with simply getting through. 💛
