Don’t Let a Bad Day Get You Down

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them today, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.” ~ Louisa May Alcott, Author

Have you ever gotten out on the wrong side of the bed in the morning only to have the day go downhill from there? You spill coffee on your newspaper, get toothpaste on your tie, miss your train, forget your meeting notes at home, and lose the keys to your office all before 9:00 am. 

We all have bad days. Try not to make a big deal out of it. If you do, you could perpetuate it further. In fact, you could set off an entire series of unfortunate events by putting your ever-increasing energy into feeling rushed and frantic; this is because you stimulate even more opportunities to be rushed and frantic.

It doesn’t really matter that you have toothpaste on your tie all day; it’s how you react to it being there. Whenever you put emotion energy behind a thought, you amplify the power of it even further.

Coaching Tip: A passing pessimistic thought without much emotional energy can easily be overcome by a positive thought that you pour your whole self into. If you laugh at yourself and let any frustration roll off your back, like water off a duck, then almost any inconvenience becomes no big deal. If you hook into feelings of anger and upset, then you can make a big deal out of any minor occurrence — and on and on it goes with the major life events too.  If today was a bad day, don’t worry about it. It will pass. You are not a failure so don’t get sucked into that routine. Tomorrow is another day. The sun will shine again.

Until Next Week!
Yours in Abundance,
Christen
