Is your day really bad or is it you perception

Here are some things that don’t exist: A bad day, a boring book, a demeaning job, and an ugly dress.

Now why do I say that there is no such thing as a bad day or an ugly dress? Shakespeare had this idea in mind when he said, “Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” You see, if the dress was truly ugly, every single person we asked would say, “Yes, that is ugly.” But what are the chances of that happening?

And if the day was truly bad, then no one could possibly be having a good day on that date, could they? And even if two people share the very same experience on the same day, one of them may call it bad and the other one may say, “Now wait a minute. There is another way to look at it.”

And that is exactly my point. There is always another way of looking at things. So, why in the world would you voluntarily choose a way that is negative, devaluing or that makes you feel badly? You have the ability to control your thoughts and your emotions.

The first step is believing that not only is it possible, but it is possible for you. And when you feel you can do it, then you try. And the more you try, the better you get at it. Negative feelings that once dominated you can be made to go away, and the time it takes you to banish them will grow shorter and shorter. Until one day you may surprise yourself by saying, “You know, I can not remember the last time I really felt angry or depressed!” I know you can do it!

    Love this! I made a sign for my office wall years ago many people just didn’t and still don’t get it. It says “A Bad Day is O.K. and No Whining Here Please”. Everyone thought I thought it was O.K. to have a bad day just not to talk about it. Well, where this came from was my husband was being the most negative person on earth, and had been for a few years. I finally had to file for divorce to get him to realize the negativity was overbearing. I put the sign on my wall to remind him – You can have a bad day – One – that’s it! Other than that he was choosing to have a bad life, and not to come whining to me about it:) We’ve been married 26 years.
