We all have down days. It’s life. But it doesn’t stop them being any less shitty!
When I’m feeling bad, I look at the questions below and try to answer at least five of them.
It isn’t momentous, and I don’t know why it works for me – but it does. I think it’s the idea that you’ve at least done some good with your day – you’ve achieved something. It might not make everything better but it does help to brighten your day a little.
Next time you’re feeling a bit crap, try it and see.
