Everyone has them - the inevitable bad days in life and in business. Those days when, no matter how much you have planned for things to go right, they simply don’t - and it can be stressful, right? So, how do you get over a bad day quickly and effectively? It starts with banishing the negative thoughts, because these inevitably trigger negative emotions too if left unchecked, and they have a nasty way of pushing out all the positive thoughts and feelings. Next, get rid of all those behaviours that are affected by negativity, for example, getting irritated by those around you; or getting defensive when asked difficult questions; or becoming bad tempered about the smallest things. Press your personal reset button by doing some simple things - take a deep breath; smile; say something nice to those around you; act kindly to another human being; and talk to someone. Those positive natural endorphins will start to flow around your body and help to change your mood and your attitude to life and business.
