    TIPS TO GET OVER A BAD DAY

Think of a good memory
This bad day won’t last forever, yet when in you’re in the midst of it the day can certainly feel like it is never-ending.
To break that feeling, think of a really good memory; a time when you were truly happy.

Thinking about this good time or moment in your life will remind you that this day will be over and more happy times are ahead.

Listen to a favorite song and sing along.
Music has lots of positive effects on us and if you want to overcome a bad day then you should pop on your favourite, upbeat song.

Sometimes it can be tempting to listen to songs that match your mood, which will worsen the mood. It reduces the window of recovery.

Studies have shown that listening to music you like can alter your mood and even alleviate depression.

In your iPod,iPad, Android or Mac make a “Feel Better” playlist that includes songs that work for you.

Try to choose positive, uplifting songs that you can sing along to.

         Do Something You Love
What activity or passion do you have that you are completely engaged in? Rather than letting a bad day get the best of you, roll up your sleeves and start doing.

When you are engaged in something you love, whether it be a sport or any other activity, your attention and focus is completely concentrated on what you are doing, which can distract you from the obstacles and hard times that you’ve been facing.

          Sign out of Facebook.
Social media has done many positive things to bring people together, but there is a dark side.

Many studies have shown that checking social media can actually trigger depression because we often compare ourselves to our peers,creating feelings of inadequacy and doubt.

Heavily limit your exposure to your Facebook or Twitter feed. At work, check them only if you have to.

Keep in mind that most people are always going to put their best foot forward, so don’t compare your insides to somebody else’s outsides.

        Spend Time with Friends
Surrounding ourselves with people who are loving, encouraging, and supportive is a great way to take our bad day to the next level.

Good friends help us feel positive, connected, and uplifted, which will help you rise above your circumstances, and enjoy the day regardless of what tries to get you down.

Enjoy the company of great friends!

            Give and get a hug.
We often overlook human touch as a form of therapy.

Health providers actually use therapeutic touch as a form of energy healing in hospitals and hospices to help patients recover from surgery.

The next time you’re feeling a little wonky, reach out to your partner, a close friend, or a family member and share a quick embrace.

          Smell something nice.
Recognised as our most powerful sense, smell evokes memories and emotions, and good smells lower heart rate and reduce Stress, according to research by Dr Nick Lavidis, a neuroscientist at the University of Queensland, Australia.

He found that the scent of freshly cut grass can make us feel good, for instance, because the odours and chemicals released by crushed plants positively affect the part of the brain that manages stress.

         Take three deep breaths. 
When we are stressed, frustrated, and anxious we are existing in our sympathetic nervous system where everything is heightened and we find ourselves on edge.

Fortunately, all it takes to shift out of the sympathetic nervous system into the parasympathetic nervous system where we feel more balanced, calm and relaxed, is three deep breaths. Inhale slowly and fully and then exhale completely. Notice yourself begin to relax.

Deep breathing has a naturally therapeutic,stress-reducing quality that can help you quell the rush of stress hormones that a bad day can bring about.

Take a few moments to close your eyes. Practice inhaling deeply through your nose for a two-second count, pausing for two seconds, and then exhaling for another two seconds.

This will help stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, thus quieting down your stress response.

      Get a halo the act of kindness
Scientists from Mindlab International call it the ‘helper’s halo’ effect – but it doesn’t have to be anything big.

Treating someone to a cup of tea, giving up your seat on the Metro, taking an elderly neighbour a homemade pie – they all increase positivity and reduce stress levels.

Want to take it further? Volunteering boosts happiness because it makes us feel empathy and appreciation for what we already have.

  Do some light bodyweight exercises.
Even though you may not feel like it, getting up and moving your body will help stimulate blood flow and the release of endorphins, the well-known “feel good” hormone.

Luckily for you, you don’t have to tie your laces and head out for a three-mile run to get the benefits of exercise; even a five-minute routine that you can do right next to your desk can do the trick.

Perform a simple routine of light squats, push-ups, and easy stretches. This not only gets you out of the chair, it also stimulates happy hormone production, increases blood flow, and boosts your mood.

              Take A Shower.
Taking a shower cleans all the oil, sweat and grime off your body, but it also metaphorically cleanses your mind, washing away all the negativity in the process.

Just a quick shower that alternates between warm and cold water can boost circulation as well as eliminate negative energy.

You could begin with a warm shower before slowly turning the dial so that the water becomes progressively colder.

Then, when it’s as cold as possible, stay under the shower head for up to twenty seconds before slowing raising the temperature once more.

Once you alternate this cycle five or six times, you will become accustomed to the two extreme temperatures. And you’ll feel amazing.

        Walk barefoot in the grass.
Being stuck inside all day without direct exposure from the sun, and without connecting to the energy of nature, can actually made a bad day even worse.

Grounding is the practice of exposing yourself to the ground, usually with your bare feet to help stimulate energy, improve immune function, and boost happiness.
The theory states that the earth’s magnetic field can lower stress hormones.

During your lunch break, find a grassy space where you can sit and relax for a few minutes, allowing your feet to rest in the grass.

Enjoy your lunch or just sit and read a book for several minutes, letting your heart rate and stress levels go down.

            Create a little order.
Psychologists recommend creating a little order in your life when mayhem or confusion reigns elsewhere because it induces a sense of control.

There’s something incredibly satisfying about organising a small area such as a cupboard or closet – but don’t be too ambitious: this is not the time to sort out the overwhelming chaos of the junk room.

Professional organisers recommend setting a timer so you only declutter for a period – and focus on the task in hand.

Don’t think of those who are less fortunate
Why do people suggest thinking of those less fortunate than yourself when you’re having a bad day? It doesn’t help.

It only makes you feel selfish because compared to a lot of other people your problems aren’t actually that bad.

Yet realising this fact does not make your problems seem less important to you.
It also makes you feel lower because it shows that the world can be a pretty rough and ugly place.

We suggest you try to not to focus on those who are less fortunate than yourself for today.
