5 Ways To Turn A Bad Day Around

Everyone has a bad day. Whether we've had some upsetting news, been dumped or just our mental health has taken its toll for the worse. Whatever the reason for having a bad day is, we all sometimes struggle to turn it around so that is why I thought I'd make a list of five ways that you can do when you have a bad day to turn it around. 

1. Have a movie day or binge watch a series
Sometimes when you have a bad day, the best thing to do is to distract yourself from the sadness and what better way to do that than to get snuggled up and watch either your favourite movies (which always guarantee to make you happy) or binge watch a feel-good series or a new series that keeps you invested in every episode. This may not be a long term solution but for a short period of time, it will allow you to forget you're having a bad day and may even make you smile. 

2. Go Outside 
This may contradict the previous point but another way to turn a bad day around is to get outside whether it's going for a walk, going shopping or taking a day trip to somewhere you've never been to before. It may be very tempting to curl up in a ball and hide away from the world. As I've learned through many bad days of doing exactly that, the world still goes on whether we like it or not plus you won't find many new opportunities from the comfort of your own home. You never know what awaits you the moment you step out of the door. You may meet your new best friend or the love of your life. You may find a new favourite coffee place or a new place to walk. Try something new and different when you next step outside and you never know, it may change your life. 

3. Start Cleaning
This may be a really random to do and may even be the last thing you want to do on a bad day but trust me when I say when you start cleaning, it will feel almost like you have your life together. Plus, it's a distraction, I'm not saying go crazy and clean every inch of your home from top to bottom (although you can do it if you really want to) but tidy one room or one part of your home that needs sorting. Whether if it's just making your bed and putting on some fresh sheets on or just tidying your bedroom. There's something about tidying your bedroom. There's just something about tidying that makes you feel like your life is put together and also makes you do something productive on a bad day. So even though tidying up is a distraction on a bad day, at least it's a productive distraction. 

4. Listen to music and dance!
I don't know about you, but music has a massive impact on your mood. When you're having a bad day, I'd highly recommend just putting on your favourite playlist and dance. There's literally a song for every mood. If someone's broken your heart or annoyed you, listen to Lily Allen's F You song. If you need a rage or just a sing along then Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody will do just the trick. Honestly, music has the power to change your emotions. So if you're having a bad day then get those headphones and switch on your favourite playlist. Trust me, this is a guaranteed cure to a bad day. 

5. Accept It
Sometimes when we're having a bad day there is not a lot that we can do about it so sometimes we've got to accept it for what it is. A bad day. Let's not forget that there's a brand new day tomorrow where new opportunities to have a better day awaits. Remember, yesterday is history, today is a present and tomorrow is the start of something new. I may have stolen or just mixed a bunch of quotes together, but my point still stands. A bad day is simply a bad day and hopefully if you follow all of these five tips then you should hopefully be able to turn your bad day around. 

So, those are five ways to turn a bad day around. I hope they were helpful to any of you having a bad day and if you I've missed anything then be sure to leave it in the comments below and maybe we can all have better days. 

Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back tomorrow with another post. 

See you then.

My Future Plans

Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
