Blue Monday, the notoriously depressing day of the year, is here again. But let’s turn that gloomy mood around and transform this Monday into a radiant day full of positive energy! Step outside and embrace the revitalizing effect.
Have you already taken a refreshing walk or bike ride this morning? It will really benefit you for the rest of the day. Morning light is the key to an energetic start, even on a cloudy day.
Daylight, with all its rainbow colours, evolves during the day. From the refreshing cool light of the morning to the warm light of the evening. In the early morning, daylight contains a higher 'blue' share, which results in a cortisol boost - your energy hormone. Give yourself that extra boost to start the day fresh.
Don’t have time in the morning? Then make room for an outdoor moment around lunchtime. A dose of daylight at this time can suppress that annoying afternoon dip. And if you really can’t get outside, consider using light glasses or a daylight lamp. Don’t let Blue Monday determine your energy!
