There are some days that start off badly, which can be a rush morning, a stranger being rude, or some bad news. Here are a few tips that may help.
Switch things up
A quick way to rescue your day is to try a"sensory (感官的) change. " Take a hot shower, buy some flowers, or get up and move. When you are stuck in your emotions, a little activity and a change of location can help unlock them.
See it from a different point of view
Ask yourself: Is this really about me, or is it about them? What is the story I created based on the thing that happened? Looking at the matter in a different way can help calm down your feelings.
Give yourself little rewards(奖励)
If you are really having a bad day, little rewards like some ice cream or taking a short break can make it less stressful than a large reward later would.
I was once advised by a friend of mine that I should make an"album for happiness" to improve a bad mood on a certain day. Another friend also recommended me to collect positive messages and emails and pull them out when I feel low. Remember to get prepared.
