Several years ago a concept about a day in the year that is considered the saddest was popularized.
In 2005, a motivational psychologist from Cardiff University, Cliff Arnal, in conjunction with a travel agency, discovered through a mathematical process that the third Monday of each year would be the saddest of the 365 days.
‘Blue Monday’: The publicity trick to make you believe that this Monday is “the saddest day of the year” and the real danger of trivializing depression
The formula [C+(D-d)]TI / MNa is in charge of giving the result to said affirmation. C refers to the climatic factor, which undoubtedly these days of January, in the northern hemisphere, are the coldest. The D will determine the debts that were acquired at Christmas time, while d is the money entered in January.
This equation has been disqualified by the scientific community and even the university itself distanced itself from the specialist.
According to color psychology, blue is associated with calm and is also related to mental perception. In the same way, it has been linked to sadness as it was in the Disney movie, Inside Out, when the character Sadness was that color.
This day is also used to send messages of encouragement, as brands offer products with the theme of the day. (YO)
