How to turn around a bad day? Postive Engergy.?
I have been working on my positivity. I used to be a very negative person, pessimistic and unhappy. About two years ago I made the decision to change my outlook. I have just made a major break through with forgiving a friend of a big wrong done to me. I felt great. (That was two days ago).
This morning I woke up feeling negative. A crayon got into the dryer. A red crayon. I feel like my house is a mess and I just want to scream.
I need to get back to my usual calm self. Not just for me, but for my little boy whom I am home with all day today (it's my day off but my husband's at work).
Any advice on how to turn this day around?
Answer:
Get out of the house. Don't deal with it right now. Take your little boy to the park and enjoy him! Or take him for a stroller ride.
Remember that you were breathing before you knew about the crayon, and you're still breathing, and that you'll continue to live just fine~ even if there is a melted crayon in the dryer.
I slid a step stool across the kitchen floor to it's corner, but instead it hit the stove just right and shattered the glass from the front all over the kitchen floor. Yup, total sh!t. It happens.
clear your mind and begin to think about how blessed you are and why you are so blessed.
this is the day god has given u to b with yur littleboy so enjoy !!
Have you ever heard of FlyLady.net? I have been using FlyLady's advice for years now and it really helps me, so maybe it would help you too? :)
ask your husband to sit in a chair. then make 6 giant shaving cream pies, and smash and smear them all over his face/head at will.
this seems to help my wife on a bad day. i like it too
breathe deeply in and out for 10-15 breathes. slowly. close your eyes too. stretch your arms up and down up and down breathing deeply again as you do this 10-15 times
I suggest probably, getting some popping music that you and your son can dance to while you clean, make it into a game instead of a chore, or go for a walk. Then afterwards give your son a bath, and have him take a nap. Then you get in the tub and relax.with some calm music.
Make a list of your negatives and positives. You will soon notice that your positives outway your negatives, and start to feel much releived.
For the negatives on your list. begin to claim something positives over them.
For example:
My butt is big, But my husband likes it.
When you are aggravated, be aggravated. If you can, leave your son over at friend's or relative's or send him outside to play (if old enough) for an hour or so and allow yourself to blow your top privately in your home. Overexaggerate it, too, so after a while of yelling, screaming, crying, whipping some red-stained clothes across the room, you'll begin to feel silly and instantly inject some humor back into your day. Trying to be peaceful when you are truly angry is a no-win situation. Trying to be logical when you are truly feeling emotional is also no-win. Express and release your aggravation first, then logically deal with your issues later when you are calmer and can think more clearly.
The way I deal with my issues while I'm calmer is by questioning my stressful thoughts which I learned through www.thework.com (free and full of help). Otherwise, I've learned that if I'm emotional, then I allow myself to be that until I'm exhausted of it. There's no law out there that says you cannot even enjoy your expressing your aggravation as long as you are not hurting others or yourself.
MUSIC! I take my son and turn on music and dance. I dance and jump and sing. THis always helps put me in a good mood. Another thing to do is go out to the park or shopping. You can shop for yourself or the family and plan on spending a minimal amount.. Finally a lunch with a friend always picks my spirits up.
When I feel really negative (which is rare but happens) I usually just have to get really silly and get my baby to laugh with/AT me.
Hope this helps and KUDOS on taking a turn on your thought process! IT's tough but SO worth it!
