24. Go Ahead and Have a Bad Day and Grow Resilience

I Meant to Do That - Motivation, Strategies, Communication Insights, Live and Lead Authentically

Have you ever been told to go ahead and let a bad day be a bonafide bad day? If you're like me, bad days are enemy number one. I strongly dislike the wasted time, unpredictable emotions, chaos, frustration, and inefficiency of a bad day so much that I want to manage it right out of existence. However, we can make a bad day into a horrible day depending on how we respond and interact with it.

What do we do with a bad day? Most of us will respond in one of these three ways. Which one do you think is the bad way to engage a bad day?

A. Power through it

B. Apply a positive mindset

C. Throw in the towel and give up

The answer is actually. . .

D - All the Above (and I've done all three most of my life). Trust me, most of us are going about our bad days in ways that make things harder on ourselves. It's not our fault. Most of us haven't been specifically trained on how to manage bad days. We weren't offered a high school course on Emotional Intelligence and Resilience.

It feels normal, even conventional, to try to outwit, outplay, and outlast a bad day. We're conditioned, even encouraged, to deny, minimize, and spiritualize a bad day. I'm eager to share with you a better way to engage your next bad day that is kinder, more authentic, and growth-producing. Are you interested?

Like all my episodes, I want to fill you with encouragement and share real-life stories and strategies that help you create your shifts toward a life that is abundantly free and aligned with God's true view of you.

Come on into this episode exactly as you are. If you're having a bad day, don't wash your face. Don't clean up anything. Bring your mood, your mess, the good and the bad right on in here. All of us "I Meant to Do That" listeners know how to take it all in stride.

This episode is for YOU. Let's learn together how to become fantastic masters of having the best bad days ever.
