Everyone has a bad day some time. On the day we recorded this episode, Janine was experiencing a bad day that left a dark cloud hanging over her head. Shannon was able to make suggestions that helped her (and can help you) make a bad day better.
Discussion topics include:
- How it’s possible to reset bad day
- Janine’s terrible, horrible, no good very bad day
- Taking a step back during a bad day and looking on the bright side
- Wallowing vs trying to snap out of it
- “Yes, and…”
- The importance of acknowledging when something sucks; it allows your unconscious mind to feel gratitude
- Learning from our bad days
- Giving yourself a reset by moving your body and shifting your energy
- Getting in touch with what’s important to you to help you get past a bad day
- The value of a good laugh on a bad day
