Having a Bad Day? Take Action and Move
How physical exercise can help you take back control
We all have bad days. It’s called being human. It’s not a weakness or a character flaw, it is an integral part of our lives.
You can’t wake up with a huge smile, ready to kick ass — all your life. This is not how it works. Moreover, seeing how others are spewing positivity all the time can put pressure on you to feel good — and that will just worsen your bad day.
We all have bad days. Sometimes a string of bad days, when our whole life looks gloomy and desperate. When nothing works out and everything tells us we are a failure.
Having a bad day is mostly out of our influence. It can be due to bad news, unexpected turn out of events, or events that are too negative to put a positive spin on it.
Bad days come and go and sometimes it’s beyond your conscious decision to do something about it. You don’t need to feel ashamed of it — it’s not that you are weak or useless. It’s only human to be influenced by external events or even internal thoughts and feelings.
But you can fight it.
You get to choose what you do. You can still make a powerful choice.
