Welcome to Blue Monday.
Today is the 3rd Monday of January which is, statistically speaking, officially, the most depressing day of the year.
And I totally get it.
Mondays seem to be the most depressing day of the week, and the furthest working day from Friday. And January is the coldest, greyest, rainiest month of the year without all the festivities of December… and the 3rd week is just far enough away from the New Year that most people have fallen off track from the goals that they thought would make them happy.
Not for me though.
And not for the thousands of people who have already flipped The Psychological Switch.
For us, it’s another opportunity to experience the bliss and joy of a deep connection with Allah and the beauty of another day – another opportunity to appreciate all that Allah has blessed us with.
I guess you could say that for us, every Monday, and every day is… GREEN. Ya know. Peaceful. Calm. Beautiful Islam. And full of positive, earth-loving energy.
It’s not that we never taste sadness or upset… but we do KNOW that when it comes, it’s simply a momentary, fleeting thought. We also know that it cannot be caused by a day of the week or a time of the month.
And because we know that these passing, fleeting thoughts come from nowhere, are caused by nothing, and soon disappear back into nothing… we’re totally free.
We’re free because underneath all the ‘bad weather’ of negative thoughts is the beautiful sunlight of inner-peace, abundant love and divine blessings that we can be deeply appreciative of.
No matter how bad the weather gets, the beauty of the sun is always right behind the clouds. No matter how dark the night becomes, dawn will be here soon. No matter how negative our thinking becomes, the inner peace we’ve always been searching for can be found again the moment we quiet our minds.
It really is that simple.
The only thing that blocks us from experiencing this simple, profound truth and being much more joyful much more of the time is that pesky Psychological Illusion – the false idea that a certain day, or circumstance, or person, or challenge, or unachieved goal actually has the power to dictate our thinking and feeling. The illusion that ‘Blue Monday’ could possibly even exist in reality.
Anyway, enough chit-chat. Time to get back to the water cooler and grumble about the weather… OR…
Maybe it’s time to book in a coaching session that will change your life forever, transform your connection with Allah and turn you into the happiest person you’ve ever met… all the while achieving your most important goals of 2024.
