So today apparently is Blue Monday, also known as the saddest day of the year!
But imagine feeling like this not just today...imagine feeling like this regularly, or even every day. 😔
For many people, including many of my clients, the sadness, heaviness, and tiredness talked about on Blue Monday is their normal life. They wake up carrying worries, pain, loneliness, or fear, and still try their best to get through the day.
Often, no one can see this from the outside.
So today I take the opportunity to share a gentle reminder: be kind.
Be kind to the people close to you.
Be kind to the stranger standing next to you in a queue.
Be kind to the colleague who seems quiet or distant.
'Cause you never truly know what someone is going through in their life...and a small act of kindness... a smile, a kind word, a moment of patience, can mean more than you realise.
Kindness costs nothing, but it can make a heavy “Blue Monday” type of day feel lighter. In fact sometimes, it can be the reason someone keeps going! 🙏
