how to restart when you are having a bad day

We all have bad days, but sometimes things are going so bad, you need to hit the reset button. While you cannot always go back to bed and wake up again, there are simple things you can do to turn any bad day into a good one.

One Bad Day Does Not Mean a Bad Life

When your day takes the wrong turn, it’s very easy to get worked up and lose your head. Sometimes this can make you sad or even worse, physically sick. Remember to take deep breaths and remind yourself that today is not the end of the world.

Log Out of Social Media

Taking a break from scrolling through your Instagram can be helpful, the world becomes so much better once you look up from your phone screen.

Change the Scene

Being in the same place for too long can bring down your mood, especially if there are unwanted memories attached to wherever you currently are. Walk down the road, take a walk outside, whatever it is, give yourself something new to look at.

Turn on your Favorite Music

Hearing your favorite song can instantly bring color back into your day. Play all the greatest hits, and sing them loud and proud to your heart’s content.

Treat Yourself

Take time to sit down to read your favorite book, splurge on your favorite lunch, or even buy yourself something you really love. When days are going terribly, it is good to remind yourself that you are loved. Even if it feels that no one else does, remembering that you do not need anyone else makes the days less lonely.

Laugh Until it Hurts

Laughter can always cure a bad mood. Bringing humor back into your life on a particularly bad day is a good distraction, but it’s also proven to help reduce anxiety and stress. Watch some funny videos, talk to your friends or hang out with people that can make you laugh. Your day will feel much brighter.
