1/8W + (D-d) 3/8 x TQ

That’s the forumula that Wales health psychologist Cliff Arnall has devised to determine that today, Monday, January 23, is the “bluest day of the year.”

On paper, the formula looks like this:
1/8W + (D-d) 3/8 x TQ
M x NA
The variables: (W)eather, (D)ebt, (d) or monthly salary, (T)ime since Christmas, time since failure to (Q)uit a bad habit, low (M)otivational levels and (NA), the need to take action.

Arnall said this formula holds true for Britain and the U.S. except in states where there is warmer weather.

Hooray, a formula at last! So if you are feeling “blue” today, now you know why!
