Sometimes we have those weeks where you don’t even wish you could hit rewind and do it all over again but instead wish you could hit all delete.
Here’s a little rundown of how last week went for me. Monday I was up late and missed an interview for a really great job, Tuesday my car broke down in the middle of traffic and I had to spend quite a lot to get it fixed and out of there . Wednesday I lost a friendship I cared much about , Thursday I felt really sick and could barely make it out of bed , Friday I lost my credit card and had some unknown transactions, Saturday I got a speeding ticket and Sunday after service my car wouldn’t start due to my battery dying.
It seemed that everything that could go wrong went wrong . Most reaction people have when the walls begin to crumble is crumble right along with the walls. I have learned not to allow the events in my life determine the course of my life. It is your reaction to this events that determine the quality of your lives.
When negative events seem to happen simultaneously it feels suffocating and difficult to overcome. The truth is there are many ways to cope with a bad day or week . I want to share the 3 things I did to help me through my bad week .
Dwell on the good things though it seems tough. With all the bad things happening to me there were equally good this that happened. Like I got another job interview with a better pay, got a $200 gift card from my sister to make me feel better. Instead of dwelling on this good things I made the mistake of dwelling on the bad ones. We should be thankful for the good things that happen to us no matter how small they may seem . Make a list of the good and bad things and celebrate the good ones.
Everything will be fine, it’s really not the end. Life has continual ups and down . We all have had low patches before and was able to get through them and learned from them. We are more than capable of overcoming anything . Focus on the things that makes you happy , get a massage, get some food , watch a movie . Do anything that makes you happy. As much as we might not like this idea but somethings are out of our control. Remember there are people who will love to have your bad days
Challenge yourself. Ok we had a bad week , will you let next week be the same? Accept the fact that there will always be bad days or weeks. Let the steam off , talk to someone if you have to. We have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of our life.
Share with me a week or day that was bad in your life and how you dealt with it in the comment section. I am always open to new ideas.
Rightly said : Always good to look at the positive.

Sounds like a hard week. All I can do when I have a hard day is just start over the next day fresh. You can even start over in the same day if you do not want to wait that long. All we have is the present moment and if you ask yourself , at this very moment do I have everything I need, is this moment ok, usually the answer is yes or manageable. It is when we think about or dwell on PAST moments or worry about FUTURE moments that we cause ourselves to stress and suffer.

When things are going bad, I remind myself that it can always be worse. Not sure if this approach works for everyone, but it has for me. 🙂

Positivity is something we all need in our life. There’re times that we fall short not because of the event around us but because one negative aspect can change the whole process and destroy the whole week. Not being able to get up early and prepare for an interview can destroy that individual for the rest of the week. Alarm not going off when is supposed to and now you running late and your manager is so frustrated and had to send you back home. All I’m trying say here is, let’s try to build ourselves around positive minds and stay positive ourselves and always make every day counts despite negativity or anything that might force us to think the opposite way.
Thanks for the write up @ Keyonce97
