Most Depressing Day of the Year?

A quick preponderance as we head into the weekend: did you know that this past Monday (Jan 22) was the most depressing day of the year?

Experts peg it as such because it takes place 3 weeks after most people have failed in their New Year's resolutions and occurs as winter is (traditionally) at its bleakest. [I'm sure being the Monday that begins the Week Without Football depresses most sports fans even further.]

That said, I had a pretty productive Monday -- and a productive week. I realized what a lot of people probably have by now -- I'm not exactly nailing my New Year's resolutions every day -- but instead of throwing in the towel, I decided to step it up.

I still have some work to do, and I'll talk more about that -- and about a few long-awaited STBD secrets -- next week. But, for now, those of you who feel like you're backsliding so early in the year might want to grab on to something (to halt the descent) and take a look around you. Is it really that bad? No, probably not.

All you need is a change of direction, which leads to a change in momentum.
