5 Things To Do To Recover After A Horrible Day

Had a neurotic co-worker critique your work in the middle of a presentation? What about an uncontrollable mane that looks like a bird's nest on your head, or fell flat on your face all on the same day? And of course it happened all front of your crush of unmentionable years. We've all had those days. And they suck. Yet how ever terrible your day has been, I find that a few things might help ease the embarrassment then pretending it didn't happen. This is my solution to fix what that hairspray couldn't.

1. Pick up your favorite takeout or make your favorite meal.

Even though you should never eat your feelings, I think today's fiasco and the fact that you haven't murdered someone definitely deserves a reward.

2. Take a nice relaxing shower or bath.

You definitely need to cool down. Let it be showering your anger away or bathing the embarrassment off your face, it'll help you to unwind and give yourself a chance to recover.

3. Speak your mind.

It doesn't have to be a rehearsed soliloquy. It doesn't even have to be coherent or spoken to another living soul. You can rant to your cat if you like or walk around screaming at inanimate objects around your apartment (I prefer the latter). Say what you've wanted to, just let out all your frustration from the day.

4. Put on your favorite flick.

I've always found myself in the best of moods after seeing my favorite film. The excitement from knowing the lines verbatim to the build up to that iconic scene that pulls at my heartstrings, I can't help but having my lips curl into a smile. Wearing my most comfortable onesie just heightens my joy.

5. Smile & brave the day.

After all that, remember to be positive. Tomorrow is another day. Even though yesterday was the worst day of your life, remember there's a lot going for you. Think of it a speed bump and keep it moving. And if anyone gives you grief, just smile and give them the finger.
