5 Steps To Out Tough, Tough Days
by Success Expert Sharmen Lane

Tough days. We all have them. Is it reasonable to think that we are never going to face adversity? Not really. I once had someone say it would be great to date a motivational speaker, there’s no negativity.” As I am a motivational speaker I can tell you, no negativity is just not possible. But what can you do to make those tough days a little less rough.

1. The first thing is to be aware and accept that things are just not going your way. Sometimes things simply don’t go the way you want them to. Acceptance of what is will

2. Once you realize things thing are going askew, stop what you are doing, and take a slow deep breath. Take 5 seconds to breathe in and 5 seconds to exhale. This is almost like stopping the clock and resetting it.

3. Change your physiology. Stand up and shake it off. Dance, jump up and down, shift your posture into a one of power. Shoulders back, head up, etc.

4. Have a happy or good mood song. Is there a song that when you hear it, you can’t help but smile or feel good? Think right now about a song you like or simply pay attention to one that raises your spirits when you hear it. Have several songs that you can play so you are not only getting in a good mood you are staying there. Make a CD or download a bunch of songs onto your ipod and play them whenever you feel the need.

5. Start your day off with something good. Do you enjoy a quiet cup of coffee by yourself? Maybe you like to run or exercise to begin day. Maybe you like a cup of tea and the news, or maybe you like to belly dance to Shikira. Whatever your thing is, do it first thing when you get up. No better way to start the day than with something that makes you smile.
