This was one of those weeks where I used the 'F' word more times than was ladylike(and morally permissible. Don't judge me). I just had a lot of 'downs' to deal with than I was ready to, but "that's what happens when you grow up in life" as my mum said. *insert rolled eyes*

But I got through it though. And I'm going to share how I did that because we all have bad days sometimes, but what you are going through is not as important as how you get through it. Whenever I'm in a bad mood or just having a bad day, I try not to dwell on whatever is the source of the bad mood by doing any of these things.

• Go for a walk. As easy as that sounds, it's very easy to forget about. But going for a walk calms me, lifts my spirits, and takes my mind away from my bad mood. And bonus points, I get to laugh at some funny things I might stumble upon.

• Watch a comedy show. Easy right? Just try it on a bad day and the bad mood will disappear. Those short Instagram videos helps me here!

• Write about it. This is for those who, like me, put a lot of their feelings in writing. It's like a private outpouring of emotions. Can't write about it? The next one is for you.

• Talk to a mature mind. Not everyone is gifted to objectively help others who are going through a bad day/mood sort through their emotions. But if you have someone like that, you're lucky and should talk with that person.

• Listen to uplifting music. Especially the kind that you can dance to. Dancing takes your mind away from how you feel. And music? I'm sure we all know about the power of music.

• Just pray. Those who are religious, no matter how slightly, will understand this. When having a bad day or just a bad mood, praying about it helps to make me feel better. I actually pray about it before I do any of the other things listed above.

So, there you have it! I don't want to hear you say that you 'are having' a bad day. Get up and burst that bad mood honey! And, if you have any other tip that works for you, please drop it in the comments section below, there can never be too many tips for fighting off a bad mood.
Have a great day Sweetie!
