Have you ever had one of those days where you got off to a really bad start? Perhaps your alarm didn’t go off or you didn’t hear it, then you proceeded to spill coffee on your new shirt, and then you got stuck behind a school bus… Your bad day picked up momentum as it continued and you felt like you had no control at all? We’ve all been there, done that and got the t-shirt. Today, I’d like to give you some simple tips for stopping that bad day in it’s tracks and turning it around quickly so that you get the most enjoyment you can from each and every day.
The first anti-stress tip to try is laughter – it truly is your best weapon against stress! Keep a disk in your car of funny stories or jokes and push the play button as soon as you start your drive! I find fast talking Robin Williams a quick antidote to a bad start. Here’s some silly fun to start you off.
What do Eskimos get from sitting on the ice too long?
Polaroids.
What do you call four bull fighters in quicksand?
Quatro sinko.
Crank up the tunes! Nothing changes your mood faster than music. And let loose with some funky dance moves while you’re at it. Even in the car, I have been seen dancing in my seat while driving in rush hour traffic. In fact, one day it was stand still traffic and I put the oldies on and was enjoying my best seated dance moves when a truck driver pulled into the lane next to me, gave me a thumbs up and joined in. It was great!
Best of Health,
Kathi
