Start your day the way they do at the University of Oxford these days, by singing this song:


If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet

If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (Hurray!)
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (Hurray!)

If you're happy and you know it, do all three (Hurray!)
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, do all three (Hurray!)

Personally Sundays are the days I feel more blue. But for people who work mon-fri its understandable.

I think this song fits well your tthread tittle even though the Sunday bit is not for me

 

[GentleJerk]

No thanks. I just need the bloooooood of Jesus. Zombie Jesus that is!

Oh we drankin the Jesus? Hallelujah!

 

[Simba]

This song is said to have "killed" people in those days.. like the very people would listen to this song and after some days theyre dead cause they killed themselves cause of the song which is weird

[FuneralCry]

For me, there is no most depressing time of the year, everyday is miserable and dreadful. Existence is suffering and more than anything I want to be free from it.

- Be kind to yourself

I am. The others who are not.​

​

- Spend time outside everyday

No, Thank you. Covid is still out there.​

​

- Do things that you find enjoyable

I am trying. Unfortunately, people are not allowing me to. Plus, I get pissed and those things are not enjoyable when I am pissed.​

​

- Complete tasks that you need to do

Thank you. My boss already remind me of those tasks every 5 minutes so it's difficult NOT to complete them.​

​

Any other pearls of wisdom?

Funny thing is, Blue Monday isn't a real phenomenon. It's just a marketing ploy to bolster the traveling industry by relying on the narratives of traveling as a method of self-care, expanding your mind, building character, and of course, curing mental illnesses like depression. Here's a Snopes article describing the myth of Blue Monday: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/false-blue-monday/.

It is a fact that EVERY Monday is depressing.
