So You Had A Bad Day?

Pour yourself a large glass of wine. And then pour yourself another one. Drinking to cope probably isn't the type of advice you will receive from any medical professional, so I guess it's a good thing I'm not a medical professional. I can speak from personal experience that it does the body good after a long and exhausting day. If nothing else a glass (or bottle) of wine will help you relax and loosen up. I can't promise  that it won't bring on an emotional cry, however, sometimes an ugly, emotional cry is necessary after a bad day.

Draw a bubble bath, blast your favorite music, and soak (with glass of wine in hand, obviously). There is something about a hot bubble bath that does the mind and body good. Close your eyes, sit back, and listen to music all while soaking out toxins and releasing tension. For extra relaxation add lavender and Epson Salt to your bath.

Put on your most comfortable pair of sweat pants. The bigger the better and the older the better. Don't go for fashion on this one.

Cuddle up with a trashy reality tv show or a gossip magazine. I suggest Teen Mom, Jersey Shore, Party Down South, or anything else that puts things in perspective. I bet you already feel better just thinking about what a hot mess those people are, don't you?

Skype or Facetime with a long distance friend. There is something special about spending time catching up with old friends, even if it is just by phone. Reminiscing about the good ole' college days and and all the crazy things you did is sure to bring a smile to your face at the very least.

Have a laugh. My go to for a good laugh is anything from the Big Bang Theory to Friends reruns. If neither of those do the trick then hop on Pinterest and head over to the humor section. I guarantee you will find something there to make you smile.

And most importantly, always remember...
