Why Hello!
So…. yesterday was a bad day!
It started off with coming into work to a snotty email from a client, then it was down hill from there. Putting pressure on myself, management putting pressure on, unhappy clients, hours of work being turned away.. I felt well and truly not cut out for the job, by lunch time I walked out of the office and had a mini-break down in my car.
Yesterday I considered going straight back to the happy pills. Am I feeling like this because I’m not on the tablets? Is it just because it’s nearly ‘that time’ of the month? Is it just a bad day…
I’m pleased to say I didn’t go back to the pills, my mum recommended that I note the days where I feel like this so we can see if there’s a pattern or if my issues are coming back and things like that.
I am pleased to report that today was a MUCH BETTER day!
Here’s my list of tips for when you’re having one of ‘those’ days because lets face it – we all have them!
- Breathe – calm yourself down – whatever it is, it’s not the end of the world!
- Listen to some of your favourite music and either relax – or sing that little heart of yours out (I thoroughly enjoy belting out a bit of Adele in my car when I’m feeling frustrated). I like to listen to relaxing music like Gabrielle Aplin, where as others may want up beat happy music!
- Surround yourself with people you love. Go have a cuddle with your parents or a loved one or even your bestie!
- Exercise, exercise, exercise. I had football training last night – did I want to go? No.. I wanted to stuff my face with a takeaway, but by going it’s a distraction for one, but I personally always feel SO much better afterwards and I guarantee you probably will too.
- Treat yourself – Whether it be a bubble bath with a nice Lush bath bomb, eating some chocys or having a glass of wine. Do something that is a treat and comforting to you 🙂
- Finally.. Just remember the good things you have in your life. I have an amazing supportive family, my parents are my world, I have a boyfriend who I love to pieces that I live with and I have my health. I have read about many tragic events this week and it puts things into perspective when I’m having a mini break down over two hours of work when others are fighting battles and dealing with losses.
A bad day, does not mean a bad life. Yes I am now off of my tablets because I felt better, but that doesn’t mean I will never have a bad day.
Keep strong and most importantly talk to someone ❤
What do you like doing when you’re having a crappy day?
Much Love
