Yellow Tuesday – Our Antidote to Blue Monday

January 13, 2024 by

Let us introduce The Living Room’s Yellow Tuesday to you…

You have heard of Blue Monday, right? Monday, 15th January is traditionally known as THE most depressing day of the year.

We’re saying Boo to Blue Monday, we are not buying into all that negativity, so we have created the ultimate antidote – Yellow Tuesday.

We’re celebrating everything sunny by coming to The Living Room wearing something yellow, because yellow is the colour of sunshine and the happiest colour of the rainbow. It brings out positive feelings of joy, hope and happiness and lifts us up.

That might sound cheesy, but hey, cheese is yellow?

We are also holding a competition amongst our counsellors, clients, staff and volunteers for ‘The Most Random-est Yellow Thing’ that they can photograph or bring in.

And the winner wins something yellow of course.

#yellowtuesday takes place on Tuesday, 16th January, keep an eye on our socials where we’ll be spreading our yellow vibes far and wide.

Breathe in calm, breathe out stress…

The Box Breathing Tool, created by Watford counsellor Yousef Kira Durrani, is a simple yet highly effective technique designed to help regulate the nervous system during times of anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or emotional discomfort.

By following a structured pattern of breathing in, holding, breathing out, and holding again for equal counts, we can slow our heart rate, calm racing thoughts, and bring our attention back to the present moment.
