Its OK to have a Bad Day:
People ask me all the time, “Nikki, your so positive,
I bet you never have bad days… Do you?” I say to those people “Hell Yeah, I am
only human”.
Having bad days are completely normal, some times we
wake up with no motivation, some times we are just angry for no reason and some
times we just want to lay in bed all day and not move. We ALL have these
moments and its OK!
For me when these bad days come up, I like to sit
with the uncomfortable emotions, if I need to cry then I will cry, if I need
vent then I will pull out my voice recorder and vent my little heart out to my
self just like I’m talking to my best friend. I don’t want to mask the emotions
that lay under my bad day, instead I bring them to the surface and just let
them sit with me.
Now having 1 bad day is OK in fact its totally fine!
But having multiple bad days in a row, its not good at all, this means that you
need to get out of your head, start loving your self and change how your
thinking.
Here are my top 2 tips to escaping a bad day:
Morning Pages:
Morning pages are like word vomit on a page, it is
designed as an empowering tool used to cultivate creativity and personal
transformations. The idea is to write what ever is in your head, it does not
need to make sense and it does not need to flow as you are simply transcribing
your thoughts onto a page.
The purpose of writing in the early morning is
significant, as it allows you to capture your thoughts before your ego is
awake. Your vulnerability in the early morning allows you to write truthfully
and purposefully. If you had a fight with some one the day before, if you have
problems at work, or you’re just a bit out of your head, writing Morning Pages
can get you unstuck and give you so much clarity.
This is a sentence from my own morning pages a few
weeks ago:
“So tired, rested lost, but found and I am hungry so
so hungry I wish I lived in a sea shell under the salty ocean. What’s the
weather like today? Oh I need to do some exercise I feel rotten” – You can only
imagine what goes through my head every day…
Drop a Gratitude Bomb:
Gratitude Bombing is my favorite thing to do when I
am having a bad day, as it makes me feel so much better and I also make other
happy and feeling loved.
It is so simple, all you have to do is go through
your contacts list and choose people that you love and who play a huge roll in
your life as a supportive friend or family member.
Now message, call or email that person individually
and tell them how much you appreciate them and how grateful you are to have
them in your life. You can do it to just one special person or your whole
contact list if you would like. But the power of being grateful can cure any
bad day as you are sending love out to the world and in a result so much love
will flow back to you.
You are having a bad day, not a bad life!
When you are having a bad day, remember to, not go so
hard on your self. The most important quote to remember is:
“This isn’t as important as you think it is”
Love your self unconditionally, and do more things
that make you happy, show gratitude towards yourself and others and always know
“This to shall pass”.
If your having a bad day and need that push in the
write direction, please feel free to email me mirrormymanifest@gmail.com
Love + Light.
