Although thinking about it a little better… what if today you have these sensations because it is natural to have them regardless of what day it is? This would make more sense, because Blue Monday is nothing more than a day invented by an advertising campaign of the British television channel Sky Travel. According to this station, during this day there are certain parameters that converge and cause a drop in morale.
All this paraphernalia is covered by some 2005 mathematical calculations made by Dr. Cliff Arnal, psychologist and then tutor at Cardiff University’s Center for Lifelong Learning. This expert used a mathematical formula, which has no scientific basis, to conclude that the third Monday in January is the most depressing day of the year. But it seems that this Arnall was just an actor in the Sky Travel theater.as The Guardian reported in 2006. The intention of this chain was to influence your viewersto make them believe that in January there would be a very sad day and that the remedy was to escape by planning the next big vacation, something that Arnall himself confirmed in 2010.
