1. Recognise that it's a feeling, and our moods go up and down.

Shrug your shoulders, grit your teeth and choose to make it through the day. Nothing's really wrong – and there is nothing wrong with you. It's just the way you're feeling, and our feelings usually change.



2. Don't be hard and condemn yourself.

Don't beat yourself up for feeling miserable and blah, or for feeling apathetic and low on energy. Be patient, understanding and gentle with yourself. You're no worse than other people as we ALL have some bad days



3. Do something rather that nothing.

Do a few mindless tasks so you don't just waste the day. You're likely to feel better once you've got those out the way. They're usually the kind of things you never want to do!



4. Only do as much as you have to.

It's going to take all your strength just to make it through the day. Preserve your energy. Leave some things for another day.



5. Be extra nice to yourself.

Do the kinds of things that help to brighten up your day.

For example, go out for a coffee, or have a bubble bath, turn up your favourite music or call a bunch of friends. Do any of the things you know will help to boost your mood.



6. Remind yourself that it's likely to pass.

A bad day is just a day. It's not the whole of your life. It doesn't mean your goals are wrong or nothing will work out.
