According to psychologist Cliff Arnallthe creator of the concept of saddest dayknown as Blue Monday, The third week of June is the one that accumulates the most positive factors. And that is why the June 20 is considered as the happiest day of the year.
However, the choice of this date was statistics…but speaking of factors Which are? These are the following: Longer days and more sunlight during the day, a pleasant climate that ranges from 20 to 21ºC, where the temperature remains ideal, and a perception of freedom and quality of life.
The greater amount of light during the day has a significant impact on our psychological well-being. This phenomenon is due to the fact that our body follows a natural cycle that regulates the production of hormones such as melatonin, cortisol and, especially, serotonin. Serotonin is known to keep us in a “zen” and happy state. This is how light influences our sleep, mood and appetite.
In addition, sunlight allows us to perceive a wider range of colors, which, according to color psychology, also improves our mood. The combination of these factors contributes to us feeling more energized and positive during days with more hours of light.
With the summer solstice approaching this June 21, the start of the holiday season is just around the corner. For many, this means extra pay and more time off, which adds an extra component of joy and anticipation at this time of year.
