VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - We all get a case of the Mondays now and then and today is supposed to be the worst of them. We're looking at how you can get through the most depressing day of the year.
So just how did the third Monday of every January came to be the gloomiest day on the calendar?
Don Thibert with Everest College in Ontario says it's a calculation based on three factors. "Most of that surrounds Christmas bills starting to come in, broken New Year's resolutions, and of course the grey skies and weather we have in January."
Since much of stress comes from the workplace, Thibert recommends keeping a one-month job journal so you can identify what is making you unhappy and then do something about it.
