So you had a bad day.......

What is a bad day anyway?

It is funny when you hear "I got out of the wrong side of the bed"

or "This day needs to end" 

Have you ever considered that it is you who proclaimed it to be a bad day? And that your expectations and my expectations of a bad day I bet are completely different. Also how we react to they I am sure are different to. 

However we both have the opportunity to turn things around when we notice they are not going the way we want. One key thing that has taken me some time to really know, learn and practice. Is that it is all ME! I create my day, I create my actions and I am responsible for my HAPPINESS! I say this because one day this winter I was having a stressed out melt down. My husband looked at me and said you are creating this, you have to make your own happiness. It hit me! Then it hit me again. It is my responsibility to make my days AWESOME. It is my responsibilty to be simply HAPPY! After taking a few deep breaths I had to get my journal out and take some notes. 

I recommend you to get your Journal out! 

Make a list of activities activities that make you happy. Have a variety of BIG and small. 

Here are a few of mine- 

Hot Coffee

A Good Book

Hot Yoga

Massage/Pedicure/Facial

A Good nights Sleep

Wine

A Tropical Vacation

A Outdoor Run

Since this day I make sure some of these items happen daily, weekly and monthly. Two months has past and I sure can feel a difference. 

I do want to disclose that sometimes a bad day may be out of our control.  Such as loosing a loved one. However if you have the habits of creating your own happiness you will have the strength to get thru tuff times. 

One last thing to always remember like anything this take practice and you will be challenged from time to time. Do not forget to find complete Gratitude in that tomorrow is a new day.

Keep up the great work, Enjoy your Journey!
