"Emotions are not facts."
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
Nice. They pass, the good ones - so enjoy them whilst they are happening - the negative ones which make the day look bad will pass - Impermanence
@amiablePeace77
"Exercising"
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
Exercise is great! a natural way to increase feel good hormones (dopamine)
Because over 50 isnt beautiful. Its just older. To answer question-Get thru it hope tomorrow is better.
@Lauren63
@Lauren63
Lauren, I personally believe each age has good and bad times, over 50 has challenges but also wonderful times to me same as all the other ages.
I like your idea of "Getting through" because tomorrow might be much better
@amiablePeace77
"Doodling"
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp

Looks like an awesome fun exercise
@amiablePeace77
Thank you :)

"Imagine sympathy and empathy for the other person rather than blame."
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
I like this quote
@feelitinyourbones
@Tazzie
"How I experience suffering when I refuse to accept reality?"
@amiablePeace77
I did doodling in boring school classes or boring office meetings when everything was irrelevant I indulgelged in doodling and liked it....
@amiablePeace77
50 is my safe house and my goal, I hope maybe I will reach 50 with the calm confident relaxed attitute and compassion acceptance caring and veing nice and kind...being detached from what doesn't matter and just enjoy what does matter in mental and spiritual wisdom, in tranquill bliss or childish outbursts...
@amiablePeace77 Well, if I can keep it from getting worse (which usually requires some combination of humor, mindfulness, and luck) it will usually get better on its own.
@stressBear
Great combinations. Humor can make life so much easier.
With flowers...
@feelitinyourbones
Awesome! Let nature speak 🌹, watching a single flower her strength to grow, to blossom and showing her true beauty can be very inspiring too. Some flowers bloom under the harshest conditions, they never give up.
@feelitinyourbones
"Going to the beauty parlor"
1: By talking with my girlfriend. She always brings my spirits up.
2. Logging in to 7 Cups. There are many people here that can have a good effect on my day.
@Offmytrack I find it helpful here also.
@Offmytrack
Offmytrack, this is so nice to hear, glad that you have such a wonderful connection with your gf and feel supported by the site
@amiablePeace77 I love that picture of the sun filtering through the trees.
How do you improve a bad day? I start out by doing my regular routine of exercises, mindfulness, healthy breakfast, and starting to do the scheduled things in the day. I find stopping everything because I feel lousy only feeds the lousiness. Usually if I start the day and keep walking I eventually feel better.
I like this short format one question!
@soulsings
Soul, I could not have said it better. I strongly believe in having a healthy routine and keep going, even if it is hard sometimes.
