Bad Days Always End
All bad days come to an end — and this is a tremendous positive.
Everyone has bad days. Everyone.
That’s a fact of life. Nobody has nothing but perfect, good days.
Sometimes this is within my control. If I wake up groggy, stumble out of bed, stub my toe, and find I’m already running late — I get to choose if I let this dictate the way the rest of my day goes or not. I decide to let that downward spiral continue and increase — or — pause, reflect, acknowledge it, and turn it around.
Other times, this is not at all within our control. Getting into a car accident heading to work, getting fired, getting dumped, a tree falling on your house, and other such matters can and will happen. You have no control over other people or nature. And that kind of bad day tends to be largely outside of your control.
When bad things happen, we all have visceral, immediate reactions. This is especially true of the shit that happens that we have zero control over. Hence, you might find yourself instantly angry, depressed, frustrated, irked, upset, or otherwise feeling bad.
It’s worse when this is compounded. Sometimes, it’s not simply one bad thing. It could be a string of them. And before you know it — you’re having a bad day.
