Halton Haven Hospice’s Post

Today I woke up feeling tired, but then I saw someone’s post that said ‘F@&k Blue Monday’, and honestly, I get it. But it got me thinking—days are just days, and it’s people and our perspective that make them great. So, if you're feeling a bit off today, maybe take a moment to think about someone else and reach out to them. A simple message, a quick call, or just letting someone know you're thinking of them can make a big difference—for them and for you. And instead of telling Blue Monday to get lost, how about we flip it and make it work for us? Here’s how I see B.L.U.E. Monday now: Be Kind – A small act of kindness can change everything. Laugh More – Find the fun, even in the little things. Unlock Potential – Take one step towards your goals today. Embrace Positivity – Shift your focus to what’s good and be grateful. Let’s turn it around and make today a good one—together. Who’s in? #BlueMonday #PerspectiveShift #BeKind #LaughMore #UnlockPotential #EmbracePositivity #ReachOut #ConnectionMatters #MakeItCount #ToughThroughTender

Is 'blue monday' legitimate or just another abstract date that doesn't really mean anything? Let's face it there are 'awareness days' for everything - I'm looking at you National Shortbread Day (Jan 6th for those who celebrate); so do we need to pay attention to this one? My answer, no. I get that today we might feel naff. We might also feel down tomorrow. February can suck too. And believe it or not, it's pretty common to feel 'blue' on a beautiful sunny day in June. I've seen a few comments in recent years slandering Blue Monday; it's misinformation from poorly executed research as a PR stunt to encourage holiday sales. Whilst the day might be arbitrary, we can't deny it helps spark conversation about mental health. But it's important to recognise our emotions, have self-awareness and share our feelings all year round. I'd suggest using this day to find small things that will perk you up when you're feeling down. Call a friend, really savour that 3pm brew, pick up a sweet treat on the way home from work, spend an extra 15mins outdoors etc. What small action can you take to be kinder to yourself? (Feel free to share yours in the comments; if you tell others about it, you're more likely to do it!). For me, I will start the day by blasting this anthem at a ridiculous volume...

Blue Monday … 🫧💙 Blue Monday is often called the "saddest day of the year." But rather than dwell on the gloom, why not use this day as an opportunity to shift perspectives and spread some positivity and kindness? Blue Monday reminds us of the importance of self-care and looking out for those around us. It’s a time to take a break, reconnect, and celebrate the small wins that keep us going during the colder, darker and more difficult months! Whether it’s a chat with a colleague, a walk outside, a cup of tea or sitting down with a good book, these little moments can make a world of difference to someone who may be struggling. Let’s also remember the power of kindness - a kind word or gesture can turn someone’s whole day around. So, share that encouragement, pay that compliment, celebrate an achievement, or lend a helping hand. Let’s transform “Blue Monday” into something more positive! What’s one thing you’ll do today to spread a little joy and kindness? #bluemonday #selfcare #mentalhealth #kindness #encouragement
