What You Need to Know about a Bad Day (A BonBon)

  • They come for no apparent reason, and can leave for the same reason.

  • There is nothing wrong with you because they come.

  • Fault and blame have nothing to do with it.

  • It’s optional—it’s not a bad day unless or until you say so—so avoid saying so.

  • If you can’t change the day, change your outlook. Change where you have placed your attention.
  • This is the time for a good laugh. Find the humor in what is happening to you. Make someone laugh, and laugh along. If you can, laugh at yourself. Laugh long and often.
  • It’s not the end of the world. It’s temporary, and probably not nearly as bad as it looks.
  • Don’t condemn an entire day because of a few unpleasant little events.
  • Don’t add up all the unpleasantness. That may be all you see at the moment, but not all that is there. Instead, notice the interspersed good.
  • Keep busy; it’s hard to feel bad when you don’t have time for it. Self-pity or discouragement are luxuries few people can afford.
  • Do something for someone worse off than you are, and you’ll get some perspective.
  • Take the time to notice all the things you have to be grateful for. Bask in the things that are healthy and working in your life.
