So Chris,
How do you get rid of a bad day? What’s the best way you’ve found to move on?
Signed,
Need to move on
~~~~~~~~~~
You know, need to move on, I heard someone say “bad days are good data.” I loved that so much when I heard it, that I have it on a sticky posted next to my computer.
We ALL have them.
So what do the people, who are highly successful, do when they have a bad day?
They take a notebook, sit down and figure out how they are going to use what they just experienced, to their advantage.
I do think that “bad days” are gifts to provide us with insight.
Either we’re learning about a person, a process, a program, a method or whatever is going haywire. It’s an opportunity to improve, based on what we’re willing to learn from the experience.
In full transparency, when I have a bad day at work, I will get my glass of Merlot, sit in my favorite reading chair and just “process.” That means, I think about how the day went, how it could have gone better and what I’m taking away from it.
The lessons find their way into my journal to reflect on later…because we just can’t lose the lesson.
You asked how to move on?
Remember…
Tomorrow will bring it’s next set of challenges, opportunities, nuances and more.
In my experience…
We, actually, DON’T have to move on. Time will do that for us.
The key goes back to my friend, Joe Smith’s (A real person btw and you should check him out at Active Introvert) comment to me:
Bad days are good data
And when we use the data, EVERY bad day is…good.
~ Let life love you!
