How do you deal with a bad day? I'm Really bad at handling it.

For the record I don’t think anyone is an expert - that’s why they’re bad days! They’re just little tests for us to see how we handle sour energies and adversity, and that’s ok.

I’m probably the last person to ask about this lately because I feel like I haven’t been great at this. But here’s what I know.

First, you can’t be useful to yourself or others if you aren’t covering the basics - feed yourself, give yourself enough sleep, some exercise. Basically the minimum requirements for being a human. If those are covered, you have a way better chance of turning the energy around, in my experience. If it’s a really awful day I know how easy it is to skip one or more of those things, but don’t, it’s to your disadvantage.

After all that, do your “happy place” activity, solo, just you, phone off. If it’s meditation, yoga, drawing, listening to music, writing - whatever your niche is. As long as it’s something that allows you to connect with yourself instead of disengaging (like watching TV). Bad days are chances to learn, and dedicating some time to that activity that makes you feel the most connected with yourself can at least turn a bad day into a lesson, instead of a worse day.

In sum: take care of yourself, be open to what the day is trying to tell you.
