How to Turn a Bad Day Into an Amazing Day
With some effort and a little mental toughness, a bad day can be turned into a good day. If your day is off to a bad start, be determined to still get as much from that day as you can.
Learn to make a good day out of a bad day with these strategies:
Relax. The first step is to take a deep breath and relax. Slow down your heart rate, think a few positive thoughts, and regain your composure. Put yourself in the right frame of mind to salvage the remainder of the day.
Accomplish Something. Get one little thing accomplished that you can check off your list. Give yourself a small success and a little momentum.
Make a Plan for the Remainder of the Day. If you want to salvage the day, you need a plan. Look at the time you have left in the day and decide what’s most important to accomplish.
Call a Friend. Call a friend and share your bad day. You want to call someone that will be encouraging. Avoid calling someone that will do more harm than good.
Be Grateful. Gratitude can reset your attitude. When you feel grateful, you have a better perspective and can be more productive. You feel less hopeless when you experience gratitude.
Get Some Exercise. A bad day can create a lot of negative emotions. Those emotions create a lot of energy that needs to be burned off. Exercise is a great way to move toward feeling normal again.
Be Proud of Yourself for Turning Your Day Around. Allow yourself to feel proud as soon as you make even a tiny bit of progress. This will provide a well-needed boost to your mood, self-esteem, and progress.
Make a Plan for Tomorrow. Choose to make the most of tomorrow. You might have some catching up to do. Or, you might need to plan a night on the town with a few friends. Make up for having a bad day by having a magnificent day.
