"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
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
Thanks for sharing , something new to me and to those to whom it is new too please check here
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
@amiablePeace77
I did doodling in boring school classes or boring office meetings when everything was irrelevant I indulgelged in doodling and liked it....
@Lauren63
@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.
