How to turn a bad day into a good one

And the opposite

Here is a very important choice you can (and do) make every day that impacts the quality of your day.

This choice can turn a bad day into a good one, or a good day into a bad one. This choice can make you feel better, or worse. Hopeful, or hopeless. Strong, or weak.

This choice can, and will, impact how you feel about your day, your life, and even your own self.

What is this choice?

This is the choice of focus, or what you focus on.

On any given day we have choices on what we focus on since there is always so much going on. We can choose to focus on things that makes us unhappy, hopeless and even weak. Or we can choose to focus on the things that make us feel happy, hopeful and even strong.

This choice matters, because what you focus on more ends up defining the overall quality of your day. If you focus most of the time on things that upset you, even the best day can feel like a terrible one.

But this works the other way too, because when you focus on things that give you hope, make you feel good and help you see the silver lining, even the most challenging of days will feel like a good day.

That is the power of our focus.

This one simple shift can turn even the worst of days into the best of days. This happens because how we feel about a day, mostly depends on what we focus on. If the majority of your focus are on things that upset you, it will be extremely hard for you to feel good. But when you choose to focus on the good things (and our lives are full of them), it helps you feel good.

Life is all about choices, and you have more of a say in your life than you realize. So if you want to have a good day, focus more on the good things.

Think more intentionally,

P.S. One of the things that really helps you shift your focus from the negatives to the positives of your life is practicing gratitude. Reviewing things in your life to be thankful for helps you feel better, and also helps give you some valuable perspective about the fact that life is good, even when things get hard...
