3 Ways To Make A Bad Day Better

We all have our fair share of bad days. And let’s face it – coping with them simply sucks! Sometimes, even the smallest thing can make our moods go south, and the only thing that takes a toll is our mental health.

No matter how we look at them, bad days are no fun. But, you should know one thing – you have the power to turn it all around!

I know – making a bad day better feels like the most grueling work when you’re feeling down. However, with a few mindful shifts and practices, all those stormy, dark clouds that float above your head (or should I say, your mood) will slowly drift away.

With that said, let me show you how to make a bad day better.

1. Accept You’re Having A Bad Day

The hardest part of coping with a bad day is accepting you’re having one. In this case, the best thing you can do is step away for a minute, pause, and take a few deep breaths.

Most importantly, you should know that your worth isn’t tied to when things go south. Setting boundaries with yourself means that you’re not supposed to react to every external trigger.

It’s okay to take a breather. In fact, this is one of the best ways to cope with bad days. When you notice you’re handling more than you can, you’re off to a great start!

2. Clear Your Mind

So, how to feel better when you’re having a bad day? Firstly, ask yourself – what inner thoughts are you paying attention to? Is it the one you always listen to, or the one absorbing everyone’s emotions and thoughts?

A simple mental declutter can clear all of this up. In turn, you’ll know exactly which thoughts belong to you and which need to be filtered out. Once you make this space, you’ll allow yourself to say ‘yes’ to having a good day!

3. Move Your Body Away From What Drains You

You might not be able to fix a bad day, but what you can do to make it better is to move your body away from things that drain you – be it people, exhaustive situations, or stressful tasks.

This is also a certain kind of boundary – when you choose to move yourself from a bad situation, you’re mentally telling yourself that you’re not available for this kind of negative energy. You’ll be surprised how this single action can boost your mood more than you’d expect!

With your boundaries in place, you’re on the road to make a bad day better, and influence continuous growth and improvement. Download my Boundaries Guide, and let me help you clear the way to a happier and clearer you!
