Queen Maxima of The Netherlands posted
some personal photographs as she shared a supportive tweet on Blue Monday.
Blue Monday, also known as the most depressing day of the year, falls on
the third Monday in January every year. The royal, 50, shared some images
as she enjoyed a forest walk with her puppy, Mambo.
She tweeted: “Exercise is good for your physical but also for your
mental health, especially if you can do it outside. Today, on Blue Monday, I
take a long walk. You too?”
Maxima also tagged mental health organization (MIND) in her message,
which is encouraging the public to get out for a run or a walk on Blue Monday.

The Dutch queen has long been a supporter of the organization and has
previously spoken about how the pandemic has affected people’s mental health,
particularly children and young people.
Meanwhile, Mind-UK is challenging people to set themselves a 30-day
exercise and fundraising goal this winter.
