Have you ever had one of those days when everything just seems to be going the wrong way? Many would call it a bad day, or a day when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. For example, you wake up late, get into traffic on the way to work, and get yelled at by your boss. Or maybe you also fail to deliver on a project that is past due and lose your phone on the way home. If all these things were to happen to you on the same day, that could be considered a very tough day. But what do you do on such days? How do you handle a bad day with elegance and grace? In this post, we will share certain tips you could use and fifteen bad day quotes to get you through.
Henry W. Longfellow was one of the most famous poets in the 19th century. Among his many works is one titled The Rainy Day. Within that poem is a now famous line in which he says, “into each life a little rain must fall”. However, what is not so famous are his other lines, within the same poem, about hope beyond the clouds. He explains that even on those dark and deary, tough days, the sun is still shining somewhere. He concludes with the same encouraging thoughts we believe remain true today; that tough days don’t come every day.

What to Do if You’re Having a Bad Day
Here’s something interesting to think about the next time you’re having a tough day; everyone has them. Its an interesting thought because if everyone has them, how come one never knows when some people get them? Could it be that they just know how to handle them or are just more graceful in their efforts? Who knows?
Anyway, here are some useful tips one could employ when having a bad day:
- Take deep Breaths and Calm down: While this may seem like a silly tip, it has the potential to work wonders. For example, did you know that most times, we ourselves are the reason why slightly difficult days become bad days? That’s because we make things worse by overreacting and making rash, poor decisions that compound the problem. Sometimes, the best thing we can do when things go bad is take a minute to calm down and think.
- Talk to Someone: Next, it may be helpful to talk to someone you can trust. Like we said earlier, it could be helpful if you had someone doublecheck the decisions you’re making at such times. Ideally, this should be someone who isn’t going through the same ordeal you are facing and can respond rationally.
- Count your Blessings: While things may seem bad, sometimes, they are not quite as bad as we build them up to be in our heads. Instead of focusing on what things are going wrong, remind yourself of everything that’s still right. By focusing on the good, you could get yourself in the right frame of mind to turn the day around.
- Do something You Enjoy: Doing something you enjoy can also do a lot to lift your spirits and help you have a better day. If you can, try setting aside a few minutes to do something that could cheer you up. Simple, easy to do things like listening to a quick song or taking a quick walk could help you relax.
- Read Inspirational Quotes: Another thing you could do, like you’re doing now, is dive into some inspirational materials. For example, inspiring quotes have the potential to encourage, motivate, and even inspire you on the toughest of days. A few good quotes, rightly presented, could be all you need to turn a bad day into a great one. And as a reminder, we have lots of inspirational materials on our website, here at Innovate Design Studios Ltd.
