You had a bad day

Ok, so I have been really positive in my blogs about careers and about life in general, so when something bad happens, it really takes it toll on me.

My thoughts for the really bad days...

Tomorrow can only be better. I really believe this. When I have a bad day I must look ahead to tomorrow and believe in my heart that it will be better. My aunt always reminds me that time heals all wounds. I especially need to remember this at this tough time.

Someone is suffering more than I am. There are situations worse than mine. That really puts things in perspective for me.

I am blessed and lucky. I have a wonderful life and during my wonderful life, I am going to hit bumps, pot holes, and huge pits in my road. My support system is there for me, my family and friends and that makes all the difference. There comes a time to depend on them and they will know it. I of course, reciprocate when I am needed, and that is just as important.

Some things I do when I have had a bad day...

Blast a great song and sing it loud. Sometimes I dance too. I recommend "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. Ooooh that's a good one!

Write. Getting your feelings on paper (or on computer screen) helps. It's visual. I highly recommend keeping a journal.

Cry. Yup, I know all about the water works. Some people call it pointless, but not me.

Pray. It's pretty powerful.

Talk to a friend. Talking it out really helps. It releases new thoughts and feelings. Hug it out if necessary.

For those of you going through a bump in your road, I send you hugs and positive thoughts for a better tomorrow.
