Question

Bad days happen to many of us.Something makes us sad，angry，frustrated or disappointed.But you still have to get up and go to work.Everything others say to you sounds stupid.Everyone seems to annoy you.Luckily，you can do something about it.Here are some ways to turn around a bad day.

Accept your bad mood

Being in a bad mood is not that hard.If you're mad，be mad.If you're sad，be sad.This does not give you the license to be rude and unpleasant to others.It just means that you need to recognize and accept your bad mood to be able to do something.

Tell others

You can try to keep your bad mood a secret and put on your happy mask.But you're fooling nobody.The best thing to do is to tell the people you work closely with.Simply tell them “Listen，I'm in a really bad mood today.I'm not sure why，but it has nothing to do with you.If I bite__your__head__off，I apologize in advance.”

Remember the good

Spend a few moments trying to think of at least one or two things that aren't all bad：Something you look forward to，such as a person you like at work or something nice that happened recently.
