Having A Bad Day? 4 Ways To Make You Feel Better

We all have bad days, some of which are far worse than others. A particularly poor day can be unnerving, making you feel depressed and causing you to worry about what went wrong.

Here are some suggestions to help you get through any day, good or bad:

1. Be gentle with yourself

When you’ve just realised you’ve made a mistake, it’s simple to berate yourself.However, we all make mistakes, and the only way to truly learn about life and what works for you is to make mistakes. Your day—and your life—will be better if you learn from your mistakes and embrace them.

2. Look for beauty in your immediate surroundings

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it can be difficult to appreciate the golden light of a sunset or a breathtaking landscape.

If you can’t get out into nature, go to a museum or art gallery, or even the mall or a parking lot—just to look—to bring some brightness into your life.

3. It’s time to get some fresh air.

If you can go for a walk or simply sit in the sun, do so. An inhale of fresh air can make you feel less anxious or depressed. When we’re irritated, we tend to hold our breath for longer than we should, so remember to take deep breaths in and out. Relaxing and focusing on your breathing will only assist the situation.
