Some people live by the motto, \u201cno bad days,\u201d but that statement isn\u2019t true for everyone. This isn\u2019t to say that you live life with a negative outlook; rather, there are times when things don\u2019t go as smoothly as they could.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it seems that everything that could go wrong actually goes wrong, you need time to recuperate and shake off bad energy before it consumes you. <strong>If you neglect your self-care during these times, things only worsen and you start heading down a dark, depressive path<\/strong>. Every person can recover from a bad day or week, even though it can seem scary or impossible. We have seven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/5-unique-self-care-ideas-for-the-new-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-care tips<\/a> to lift you up when you\u2019re feeling down.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Write It Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s embarrassing or uncomfortable to discuss your problems or hard times in person, you can let them out on the page. Bottling up your feelings is not a positive way to deal with life events. This is why journaling is a great therapeutic way to release your feelings, stress, or whatever is on your mind. After you finish your journal entry, be sure to reflect on what you wrote. When you engage in reflection, you\u2019ll find that you have an ability to flourish in life moving forward, especially if you encounter a similar scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sing Your Song<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people know how to play instruments and use that creative outlet to turn bad feelings into positive moments. Music has power, and you can lift your spirits even by listening to a song, but don\u2019t be afraid to belt it out. Some bad days call for screaming to feel better, so why not add a little melody (or not, if you\u2019re not musically inclined) and sing your favorite songs? Alternatively, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/reduce-stress-with-this-30-minute-yoga-sequence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you can relieve stress<\/a> and mellow out by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/dherbs-stepped-into-tranquility-during-a-sound-bath-at-awa-oasia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">listening to soothing sounds<\/a> that stabilize your mood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Massage Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can afford it, make an appointment to get a massage. More often than not, people carry a lot of tension in the body and it can take a toll on the nervous system. Allow a skilled masseuse to massage the tension out of your body; we promise that you\u2019ll start feeling like a new person after the first 10 minutes. If you don\u2019t have the time or funds to schedule a massage, sit on the couch, grab some lotion or oil, and give your legs and arms a good massage. You can also engage in some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/5-restorative-yoga-poses-to-promote-relaxation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gentle stretching to promote relaxation<\/a> and better sleep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Put Your Phone Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The smartphone is an amazing technological device, but it can also stir up emotions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/do-blue-light-blocking-glasses-improve-your-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruin your sleep<\/a>, and cause stress. Ending the day on your phone is the worst way to end the day, especially if your day was already a struggle. Instead of getting sucked into the social media vortex, end your day with a reading session, writing session, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/5-easy-meditation-techniques-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meditation session<\/a>. All of these things <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/calming-inhaler-p-126.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">put your mind at ease<\/a> and help you focus on positivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allow Yourself A Good Cry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s necessary to sit and acknowledge your feelings. Too often do people ignore their feelings, which is unhealthy behavior. Don\u2019t be ashamed to have a good cry when things in life frustrate you. Showing emotion doesn\u2019t make you weak; in fact, it makes you stronger and healthier. Express your feelings and good things will follow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cuddle Your Pet (if you have one)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Often times, we don\u2019t deserve pets because they are just too perfect. Pets, especially dogs, can sense if you\u2019re having a bad day and they come to your side to support you. Love your pet, cry with your pet, or simply lay with them, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-power-of-pets-4-ways-they-improve-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">embracing their love and affection<\/a>. You can even play with your pet because that will surely lift your spirits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Eat Your Feelings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/how-to-stop-emotional-eating-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emotional eating is a huge problem<\/a>, especially when people experience sadness, frustration, or anger. These emotions cause uncontrollable eating habits, but food is not your savior. You\u2019ll find that you don\u2019t need to resort to food when you use one or more of the previous tips to care for yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have those days when we feel defeated.
