The Canary Islands form the backdrop to overturn the phenomenon of Blue Monday and demystify the theory proposed by British psychologist Cliff Arnall, who determined in a study published in 2005 that the third Monday of the year is the most depressing day. To refute his conclusion and halter the forces of pessimism, the Canary Islands' tourist board has created the #StopBlueMonday initiative, which uses the archipelago's natural resources to show that the formula is mistaken and does not hold true in home of the "best climate in the world".
This year, Blue Monday falls on 18 January and the creator of the theory has visited Tenerife to join the movement to foster optimism and encourage "the creation of happiness everyday",
During his visit to the archipelago, the academic from the University of Cardiff remarked that "it's hard to imagine a place so charged with life just a few hours from the centre of Europe". Arnall admits that on the Canary Islands "it's impossible to feel depressed with so many bright, sunny days, brimming with the energy transmitted by the island's volcanoes and its revitalising natural environment".

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI know it's a sad day because it's moday,we didn' do new year's resolutions,it has been two weeks from christmas,etc.
So it's normal to feel sad, but think about it!There are lots of reasons to be happy:you're healthy,you have friends,you have a family that loves you,you can eat food while other people can't,you have a house,you can go to school,and many others reasons.
So be happy,think all you have,and be positive!!
