BMPuerto Vallarta, Jal. - Mondays are, without a doubt, one of the most unwanted days for a great part of humanity; people would do anything to be able to stop the clock so that it would never arrive.

But there is a particular Friday which is the worst of the year, a sad and depressive one, according to a mathematical formula invented by Cliff Arnal, research professor of Cardiff University in the United Kingdom.

The British Psychologist calculated the formula on 2005 using several factors for his investigation: climate, economics and motivation. He arrived to the conclusion that the third Monday of the year, the so called Blue Monday, is the day when people’s feelings run low.

Variables such as December festivities, the disappointment of not fulfilling all of New Year’s resolutions, the debts that the festivities leave behind, and the weather, among other things, are factors that originated the formula 1/8C+(D-m) 3/8xTI MxNA. Where C= Climate, D=Debts acquired during Christmas celebrations, m=money earned in January, T= Time that has gone by since Christmas. I=last Intention to stop a bad habit you failed, and the M represents Motivations and NA the Necessity to Act and do something to change your life.

The expectations on what might happen in the next 12 months, are high; however, when more than two weeks have gone by and New Year’s resolutions are beginning to fail, some people lose their motivation and realize that wishes do not turn into reality with a magic wand; but that wishes are goals that require tons of efforts, a plan of action, patience, perseverance and hard work.
