El lunes m\u00e1s lunes de todos los lunes del calendario.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><strong>December is supposedly the <em>most<\/em> wonderful time of the year. Try as you might, it is incredibly hard not to get caught up in Christmas merriment, so it\u2019s hardly surprising that when we are catapulted into the month of January, it can seem a little unwelcoming in comparison to its festive neighbour.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Se supone que Diciembre es la \u00e9poca m\u00e1s maravillosa del a\u00f1o. Por mucho que lo intentes es dif\u00edcil no verse atrapado en el j\u00fabilo navide\u00f1o, as\u00ed que no es nada sorprendente vernos como catapultados al mes de enero, que parece ser un poco hostil en comparaci\u00f3n con su mes vecino tan festivo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>January is, arguably, the <em>most<\/em> depressing time of the year. This is corroborated by the fact it has even been awarded\u00a0it\u2019s own depression day \u2013 \u2018Blue Monday\u2019 (as if Mondays weren\u2019t bad enough), which falls on the third Monday of the month. Yes, that\u2019s today! Lucky us!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Enero es, posiblemente, el mes m\u00e1s deprimente del a\u00f1o. Esto se ve corroborado por el hecho de que se le ha asignado incluso su propio d\u00eda de la tristeza, el llamado \u00abLunes deprimente\u00bb (como si los lunes no fuesen deprimentes de por s\u00ed) que es el tercer lunes de mes. S\u00ed. Eso es hoy. \u00a1Qu\u00e9 suerte la nuestra!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why has it earned itself such a title? A combination of winter darkness, frosty weather, post-Christmas gloom (the result of over-eating\/over-spending) and freshly failed New Year\u2019s resolutions\u00a0can leave us all feeling a little deflated and demotivated.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00bfY por qu\u00e9 se ha ganado esa denominaci\u00f3n? Una combinaci\u00f3n de la oscuridad del invierno, del tiempo con fr\u00edo, de la depresi\u00f3n post-navide\u00f1a (como resultado de comer demasiado \/ gastar mucho) y de los prop\u00f3sitos de A\u00f1o Nuevo que acaban de fracasar nos pueden dejar a todos un poco desinflados y desmotivados.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even the television turns on us; no longer are we being visually tempted to indulge in scrumptious food, lavish gifts and the great indoors, we are now being instructed to detox, save, cleanse and buy the latest detox teas\u2026 like now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Incluso la televisi\u00f3n se vuelve contra nosotros. Ya nos nos tientan visualmente a disfrutar de una comida exquisita y de unos lujosos regalos y de momentos fant\u00e1sticos de puertas a dentro. M\u00e1s bien se nos dan instrucciones de c\u00f3mo desintoxicarnos, ahorrar, purificar y comprar los \u00faltimos t\u00e9s desintoxicantes&#8230; como\u00a0 se hace ahora.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The good news is, in very simple terms, there is actually no hard evidence to support the claim that the 18th January is the most depressing day of the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La buena noticia es que, dicho de forma sencilla, no hay en realidad ninguna prueba concluyente que apoye la afirmaci\u00f3n que el 18 de enero es el d\u00eda m\u00e1s deprimente del a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So let\u2019s prove it wrong!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a1As\u00ed que desmint\u00e1moslo!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are our top 8 tips for getting through Blue Monday and the rest of the month:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a1Aqu\u00ed est\u00e1n nuestros ocho consejos para superar el Lunes Deprimente y el resto del mes!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-january-guide\"><strong>The January Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>La gu\u00eda de enero<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-1-lower-your-expectations-of-yourself\"><strong>1. Lower your expectations of yourself.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Baja tus propias expectativas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All too often we are our own worst critics; setting goals and resolutions for a new year is a great motivator, but don\u2019t let those goals turn into beating sticks if you fall short. Be supportive of yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Todos nosotros con demasiada frecuencia somos nuestros peores cr\u00edticos. Fijarnos metas y prop\u00f3sitos de A\u00f1o Nuevo pueden ser una gran motivaci\u00f3n pero no permitamos que los mismos se conviertan en palos para que nos golpeen en caso de no estar a la altura. S\u00e9 compasivo contigo mismo.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-2-do-something-for-someone-else\"><strong>2. Do something for someone else.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Haz algo por otra persona<\/p>\n<p><strong>An act of kindness is not only a great way to give yourself a morale boost, but you will also cheer-up someone you care about in the process! Focusing on someone else\u2019s needs will also serve as a welcome distraction from your own.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Un acto de amabilidad no es solo un gran modo de darte a ti mismo una inyecci\u00f3n de moral sino que tambi\u00e9n alegrar\u00e1s la vidad de alguien por quien te preocupas en el proceso. Centrarse en las necesidades de otra persona tambi\u00e9n te servir\u00e1 como una buena distracci\u00f3n para ti mismo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-3-keep-it-simple\"><strong>3. Keep it simple.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hazlo sencillo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>January can be a stressful month so look at ways to keep your life simple.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Enero puede ser un mes estresante, as\u00ed que mira a modos de hacer tu vida sencilla.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t say yes to things you don\u2019t want to do and practise honesty with your family and friends so they know how you are truly feeling. You will feel more connected and closer to them through this honesty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No digas que s\u00ed a cosas que no quieres hacer y practica la franqueza con tu familia y tus amigos para que sepan cu\u00e1les son tus sentimientos verdaderos.
