Blue Monday shows up every January but should we believe it?

This episode takes a curious look at the Blue Monday formula shared on Wikipedia, a much-debated equation involving weather, debt, motivation, and time since Christmas. Rather than letting a formula define the day, I explore practical ways to build clarity and emotional resilience.

With insights from Miss Americana, reflections on journaling and mindset, and a calming guided meditation inspired by The Source by Tara Swart, this episode invites you to design your day with intention not equations.

The Blue Monday formula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_(date))

Where:

• W = Weather/Light exposure
• D-d = Debt minus ability to pay
• T = Time since Christmas
• Q = Failed quit attempts (New Year's resolutions)
• M = Motivational levels
• NA = Need to take action

The 2005 press release[10] and a 2009 press release:

where W = weather, D = debt, d = monthly salary, T = time since Christmas, Q = time since the failure of new year's resolutions, M = low motivational levels, and Na = the feeling of a need to take action.

One relationship used by Arnall in 2006 was:[11]

where Tt = travel time; D = delays; C = time spent on cultural activities; R = time spent relaxing; ZZ = time spent sleeping; St = time spent in a state of stress; P = time spent packing; Pr = time spent in preparation.

Inspired by the life and work of Virginia Satir, a pioneer of family therapy, this episode reflects on curiosity, persistence, and the power of seeing people in context rather than as problems to be fixed. We look at how her philosophy connects with The Artist’s Way, Internal Family Systems, and modern coaching especially the principle of meeting clients with trust instead of diagnosis.
