A quick thought about those difficult days...

Some days are just more difficult than others. Maybe it’s difficult to get out of bed and face the world, brush your teeth or even eat. The fact is sometimes we know why we’re having this experience, and other days we may never know why some days are harder than others. It could be related to a physical reason like fluctuating hormones or maybe your body is fighting off a cold. It could be related to a negative interaction you had yesterday with a coworker that you’re not ready to unpack. Whatever the reason is for a low mood, it is okay to feel low. Not every day is going to be great. But I do think that a productive challenge for people to take on during these days is to accept their current mood while also acknowledging the things in your life that are good. We have the propensity as human beings to see things as all good or all bad. But is it possible for you to accept that there’s tension between you and a coworker while still looking forward to your plans next weekend? Or can you hold the feeling that you’d rather stay in bed all day yet make space for appreciating the beautiful weather outside anyway? Sometimes making space for something positive or beautiful can be enough to get us through those difficult days.
