Click HERE to see the full article and all the insight to find a better day.
1. Breathe.
2. Do a power pose.
3. Work out.
4. Hug.
5. Pet an animal.
6. Find a new viewpoint.
Three of my most commonly used questions that help me with that are:
- Will this matter 5 years from now?
- Who cares?
- What is one small action, one small and practical step I can take to start turning this day or situation around?
7. Go out into nature and enjoy it all.
8. Accept what is.
9. If you made a mistake then don’t let your inner critic take over.
10. Tell yourself: Just for today!
11. Get outside of your own head by adding positivity to someone else’s life.
You can for example:
- Help someone out. With for instance moving houses, with planning for an upcoming job interview or by offering some advice that has helped you in a similar situation that your friend is in now.
- Just listen. Sometimes people just want someone to truly listen for a little while as they work out their own situation and possible solutions.
- Be kind. Give a genuine compliment for something that means a lot to the other person or something she does that is often taken for granted.
12. Take 5-15 minutes to read some motivational quotes.
13. Journal about your day.
14. Talk it over with someone to find that new perspective.
15. Take a laugh break for 10-15 minutes.
16. Find something to look forward to.
17. Take a shower.
18. Clean up.
19. Tap into gratitude.
So ask yourself these 3 questions:
- What are 3 things I can be thankful for in my life today?
- Who are 3 people I can be thankful to have in my life and why?
- What are 3 things I can be thankful for about myself?
20. Look back and celebrate how far you’ve come.
21. Remember: sometimes a bad day will just be a bad day.
