Sometimes, I have a bad day, caused typically by overthinking or remembering a hard time. These are the days where I want to stay home, curl up in my fuzzy blankets, watch Netflix, and eat. These days also tend to consist of meltdowns, sleeping, and one bad mood. Let me tell ya, they're not my favorite days of the year.
But, there are things that I do that help me make it.

I think about how much I love my boy, and how I'm so lucky to have him beside me. These days also consist of lots of cuddles and back rubs.
I reflect on how much I've gotten through in the last few years, and how I wouldn't be where I am today without that. Let's face it, I've been on a never ending rollercoaster since 2009.
I research ideas for my wedding, even though I've had it mostly planned out since I was like ten. 394 days to go!
I send a message to one of my closest friends, just to talk about nothing, but to chat and get my mind off of my problems.
I realize how close I am to finishing my Bachelor's degree! Ugh, I cannot wait to finish.
I make some popcorn and put lots of salt and butter on it. Mmmmm, the unhealthiness of it makes my mood much better.
I go through old pictures, to see how much life has changed. I look at pictures of grandma and I, my siblings, my parents, and I just remember how it used to be.
I call my mom and tell her how awful my day is, or let her tell me how much worse hers was (because her job really is terrible).
Or, alternately, I call my dad.
Online shopping is my worst enemy. Someone should probably take my debit card on these days.
I think about my nieces and nephews, and how much they mean to me. It makes my heart melt when they see me and yell, "Mea Mea!" or want me to hold them. I cannot explain the joy I feel.
I realize that, ya know, life isn't too bad for me after all. It's okay to not be okay sometimes, and it's okay to have a day. Life isn't always perfect, and it never will be. It's the outlook that we have on it that makes it good or bad for us. Positivity is key.
