My awful day started out last night. Remember how I said I get super jealous really easily? Well something happened last night that really, really bothered me. I won't go into details, but let's just say I couldn't fall asleep because I was worrying about the incident in my head, trying to figure out what it all meant. Since I could not fall asleep, I was tired all day today. So on top of being in a bad mood, I was tired. And I am no fun when I'm tired. I was wearing sweats with little make-up. I looked like crap, and I felt like crap. And it seemed like nothing was going right. I was done with the day by noon. After my last class got out (early, which was one of the only plus-side to this day so far) I called my mom to talk and ended up bawling and letting out every single little feeling I had. I felt lonely, and jealous, and not good enough for anyone here. After my bawl fest and pity-party, I decided it was time to turn my day around. After deciding this, my day almost instantly was better. I had dinner with friends, I watched to Presidential Debate (GO ROMNEY!) and I went to a walking dance party! I came home and skyped with my parents and I after I finish this blog post, I am going to watch Tangled.
When I decided to turn my day around, I made up a list for future me. It is a list of ways to make a crappy day better. Although this is a personal list, I feel there are some things on here that everyone can use. So, if you are ever having a bad day, read this and try some things out. They really do work. (For me at least.)
1. Call Mom. Vent to her, cry your eyes out. By the end you will be laughing and ready to have a better day.
2. Change out of sweats into a cute outfit. Freshen up your make-up. Put on your favorite perfume. If you look like crap, you will feel like crap.
3. Drink Dr. Pepper. This doctor can fix any problem.
4. Eat Chocolate. Lots of it. If it works for Harry Potter, it will work for you.
5. Watch Tangled or Big Bang Theory. They always always always make you smile.
6. Be Social. You can almost always act happy if you are with other people.
7. Stop thinking of the past. It's gone. You can't change it. Think of the future and how you can influence how it will be.
8. Belt out the Wicked soundtrack. Just do it. You know you want to.
9. Smile. Look in the mirror and smile. Don't do this while you are crying, because looking in the mirror while crying just makes you cry more. Stop crying, gain composure, and smile.
10. Read the scriptures and pray for comfort. Remember that the Savior loves you more than you can possilby comprehend. He felt every single feeling you are feeling. And more. He did this for YOU. He knows that what you are going through is though, but He can see the greatness you are capeable of. Trust in Him, and you will be comforted.
There are always going to be bad days. Life wouldn't be life without them. just work though them and know that it is only a small moment of time. Without bad days, we wouldn't be able to recognize the good ones.
