we all have tough days and the question is what do we do at the point we recognize that it's a tough day to turn it around so that takes two things one self-awareness that it's actually a tough day um could be fueled by lack of fuel food or a lack of sleep fuel um but at the point we can recognize that maybe we're extra sensitive to small things or um getting frustrated more easily or just having a harder day if you can reset yourself and just do a couple quick things to get your head in the right space you can turn your day around so for example one thing you can do is stop and pause and write down some things you're grateful for it shifts your mood so quickly you wouldn't even realize it um but not the things like grateful for family and friends um but what is the actual best thing that's happened so far today or who is someone that made a difference in my life yesterday what is one thing that I can get from the tough morning I've already had so far what's a lesson learned that can make a difference in how I run the rest of my day or make a difference tomorrow or make a difference for someone else if you can ask yourself some of these questions and get yourself some answers typically you can get yourself back in the right heads space another thing you can do is reflect stop pa and reflect what has made the morning so hard what are some things had you just altered and done something slightly differently that would have made it easier to do something that it was harder to do I know that may sound strange and you don't want to get stuck in the reflecting it's very easy to start thinking about all the things that went wrong and just stay stuck there but if you can think about it in respect of learning a lesson about a decision that could have been different and had it been different would have changed the way the day is shaped out so far they you can plan to make different decisions the rest of the day that will support you and that could be things such as refueling and taking a break or getting some food in New it also could be making a decision to do something different than you would have done otherwise with the rest of your day or with a way you would handle a work problem or something else knowing that you're in a different headp space than um you normally are so um what can you do when you're having a tough day stop pause reset reflect and put yourself in the right positive mindset [Music]
