Was it a bad day or was it just a bad moment that ruined your whole day?
We all have bad days and sometimes even bad months (February for me was definitely not a great one.) As I look back and think about it, I probably made it worse than it really was because I was dwelling about the bad moments that lead to these bad days. I think what many people do is exactly that, we hold on to these bad things that happen to us during the day and it puts us in a bad mood which eventually results in everything "going wrong."
Think about a day that something not so great happened. I'll give my example; a car accident. I'm driving to my class, I get hit by a car who ran a red light and now a cluster of things happen. Not only am I missing class, but I now have to go to the hospital, my car was totaled and I need to spend the next month dealing with the insurances and having no car. The way I viewed the incident was as a whole instead of breaking it down and only dealing with the issues as they come up. I spent most of my time worrying about the accident, losing focus on important things like my job and my education. Now my example can be viewed as big or small depending on what each of the issues we deal with is. When you thought about your bad day, did you feel like you dragged it out?
My experience had me thinking about bad days, so I thought I would share some tips that have made such a big difference since that day.
