Don’t take it personally
If your bad day was triggered by someone else’s actions, don’t take it personally. If someone else is angry, upset, stressed, frustrated, or just plain mean, it’s important not to let it weigh you down. If you had a negative interaction with a colleague, it can be helpful to talk about it with them once you’ve both had some time to cool down.
Get it off your chest
Talking with someone and getting an outside perspective can help you release negativity. It’s fine to let yourself vent – but put a time limit on it. Let yourself complain for 10 minutes, then move on!
Act as if it’s a great day
You can help yourself snap out of a bad mood/funk quicker by “acting” happy. In fact, research has shown that simply making yourself smile can put you in a better mood. Evaluate What Happened Take a moment to reflect on where your day went wrong. Not only can this give you a sense of peace about the situation, but you may be able to prevent another bad day in the future.
Hit reset
When you’re having a bad day, it can feel like one unfortunate circumstance after another. You may need to give yourself a chance to restart. Whether you need to get some fresh air or think about something that you’re grateful for, pausing can help you break the negativity cycle. Dynamic Dental Advisors
