Bad days. We all have them and they are the absolute worst sometimes. Whether you wake up in a bad mood, get some bad news, or you don't really feel too good- your day doesn't sound too great. Here's the thing, it doesn't have to stay that way. Sometimes all you need is a little pick me up to get something good in for that day.
1. Ice cream and a movie
This is an old time classic that somehow makes everyone feel better at the end of the day. Splurge for you favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor to make it extra special. If you're feeling adventurous and don't want to wash dishes just eat the ice cream of the tub. It tastes better that way anyway.
2. Make a playlist
My shower playlist never fails when trying to get me to sing and have a good time. Fill a playlist with your favorite music including some old hits and throwbacks and you'll forget what you were stressing over a few minutes ao.
3. A good night out (or in)
Make it a point to do something fun that night whether it is going out and having fun or staying in with a few friends and laughing all night. Or maybe combine this with the ice cream and movie combo and have a nice movie night.
4. Take a nap
I know many people say not to go to sleep angry or upset, but I seem to forget how upset I was when I wake up. It really is almost like whatever happened is non-existent and everything is okay again.
5. Watch funny videos
There has to be millions of funny videos and between Vine and YouTube to make your day better. America's Funniest Home Videos is on Netflix too so you'll never run out of videos to watch.
6. Take some time for yourself
Everyone needs a day to relax and have to themselves. Having time to yourself away from work and responsibilities can help you figure out what you need to do for yourself to make everything better again.
7. Play with animals
If you don't have a pet find someone that does. Offer to walk the old neighbors dog to feel better. Not only are you doing something good for yourself but you are helping someone else out and that always feels good.
8. Volunteer
Some of the best feelings I have ever had were after I did community service and some volunteering. Seeing someone else smile because you did something good for them is the absolute best feeling in the world.
Remember everyone has their bad days, but dont let it get to you too much. Dont let a bad day ruin the good things for you. Look on the bright side and make best out of the situation at hand. And think about it this way if we never had bad days how would we know if we ever had good ones?
