How I reset a bad day

We all have those days. Those days when you look at the clock and it’s barely 10am and you are done. You’re wondering how you can possibly make it through to lunch time let alone bed time. I have those days often but I do have a few strategies to reset a bad day that I thought I’d share. When these don’t work I stay in my pyjamas and eat Nutella from the jar. 

Change of scenery 

Even if leaving the house is the last thing I feel like doing, I’ll take Daisy for a drive, go for a walk or even take a blanket and some toys into the back yard and sit in the sun. On a rainy day sometimes changing rooms is enough. We seem to spend all our time in the living area and forget about the rest of the house! 

A quick self care sesh

I’ll throw on a face mask or hair treatment and let it do it’s thing until I get a minute to take it off. 

Use social media mindfully

Rather than mindlessly scrolling through social media DM someone you connect with or leave a few worthwhile comments, it’ll be more fulfilling and you might just make someone else’s day. 

Keep in touch 

I’ll FaceTime my mum throughout the day, share cheeky texts with the husband and send quick ‘how you going’ messages to friends and other mummy’s also buried deep in the trenches. Contact with the outside world is a must! 

None of these are foolproof and sometimes you just have to ride out the crappy day but hopefully one of these might come in handy for you!
