How do you make your day bad?

We've heard a lot already from different people and different discussions on how to make our day wonderful but we still usually end up messing our day. This made me realized that having a nice day is not just by doing the good stuff but by also controlling ourselves not to do the unpleasant ones. I usually have a bad day if I let my temper burst out all the way. So no matter how many good things I do if I have this single unpleasant attitude that I let out then my day just messes up. I guess it's easier to have a good day when you know how to stop those things that makes it bad. So how do you make your day bad?

I make my day bad by letting my temper exceeds the limits. hahahaha, specially when I admit that I've done something wrong and there would be someone who will tell unnecessary comments/opinions! and of course, most of the times I stay cool but sometimes I wanna tear that that person apart by just looking at him. hahaha,.. XD Also, if I terribly miss somebody, I always end up in a bad mood. XD And whenever I have an unfinished goal of the day, I end up in a bad day too. That's all I guess, and by the way, right now, I feel okay. ;)

Guess I don't have to make unnecessary comments if I wanted to stay whole and alive as I don't want to be torn apart as well. Anyway why does your mood become bad when you miss somebody? Well having an unfinished goal of the day makes me disappointed but fortunately it doesn't make my day bad because I can accept that not all things can be finished in a day especially if you have a lot to do. May you continue having a good day and feel okay.

Lucky I'm still alive up to now and I'll be very careful again in this post. Let me guess, is it your boyfriend that you are referring to? I think I can relate to that if it is so. Sometimes it drives us crazy thinking about that person but we are not sure if he even bothered to think about us. The fact that I have much to do and to think about each day just make me accept that so that I won't get upset and make my day bad. But I think that's also good thing for you because you have your goals set for each day as situations depends from person to person. Keep it up also.

Hahahaha, well, good thing I'm still having a good day right now and so far you did not make comments which could lead you to your last second on Earth, hahaha. :D Well, when I miss someone, it makes me feel sad, really sad. But remembering happy moments we shared will take me away from my depression then. But, when i TERRIBLY miss someone, and doesn't get any single message from him or her, it makes me upset. Sometimes I get angry (a little :P ) .. and I can't explain it, maybe it's just that whenever we miss someone, it's like we're missing also something from our life. And as for me, whenever I miss someone, it makes me feel like I am living a day as an incomplete person. Well, that's just how I feel. :P And good thing for you that you accept the fact that sometimes we are not capable of finishing our daily goals. ;) Keep it up ;)

The first thing of the day that makes me mad is missing the bus. It makes me so mad then the day starts to go bad because of the bad mood i have. Actually i think I am the one to be blamed for this. If i hadn't woken up late, i wouldn't have missed my bus. So usually that is how my bad day begins

Just don't stay up too late in the evening my friend as we will all have a bad day because of that especially during the first day. By the way, have you missed the bus today?

I suppose you have been scolded by your teacher because of that. How frequent does this happen in a week? Don't you alarm your clock in the morning? I hope your grades won't be affected by this because that will make your day even worse.

Actually yes I couldn't wake up today and was an hour late for class. This is what usually happens on a Monday to me.

Funny how what makes your day bad is what makes mine bad, that is why I try to avoid fights, it can get pretty ugly..I don't know if we can make our day bad or why one would want to. I guess if I really wanted a bad day, I'd post all kinds of things on my sister's FB wall...

Oh I also see that we can really relate to each other. No doubt why you don't want to block them on FB. Yes no one wants to make their day bad but usually the reason is ourselves because of these things that we uncontrollably do. I always have many things in mind that I would do to make my day nice but sometimes when certain things happen I lose control and that messes it up. Well I just want to point out here that we should just try to avoid these things that we do to that makes it unpleasant.

Oh I try to avoid the negative part of life, but the problem is, that is a part of life. Everyone, even the most peaceful person, has a bad day once in a while..

So true carmela. All we can do I guess is to minimize the instances of having a bad day.

Hiya sais, Yes I can relate to that like any other. You can feel a bad mood coming on maybe you don´t really know why yourself. I do try my utmost to control it most of the time. But there are those Days you have to admit that can brush you up the wrong way right from the start. If I have started a bad Day I do my utmost to right it and steer away from any bad or nasty answers and actually that kind of thing grows on you. You get to know how to handle different things that crop up for another time. I can make my Day bad if I decide to nag a bit yes even I can nag but then I think of what am I saying and just laugh at myself. Mostly that´s it I stop the Mood in it´s tracks. Have a great Day all. Luv ya.xxx

Hiya sais, Well yesterday was not a very good example of how I ususally am but I managed to turn the Day around. Tempers were short yesterday it was very hot and very noisy outside. There were supposed to have been thunderstorms to clear the Air but there were none either. In the end I did manage to laugh at myself thinking what are you doing again? Have to say that in this House they can get to provoke you to the limits of your patience and Yesterday was an example of what not to do but I did it and then undid it all after. Oh well no one has a perfect Day do they or do they? Take care and have a great Weekend sais.xxx

It's a good thing I think that you can laugh at yourself for nagging because you understood that it's yourself that's making it bad. Well I hope too that this thing can grow on me. Thanks for your response.

The easiest way to get to a bad day, is really hang around people who might do something stupid to put me in a bad mood. Believe me, I have tried to stay away from those people. And a lot of them, about eight five percent of the time, do not really negatively impact my day and by extension, they are really cool people to hang around with. However, that other fifteen percent of the time, you know. Oh boy do you know. They are really causing some irritation with my day to say the very least. It is just best for me to go in with a positive attitude and to try and steer clear of things that will cause me a great deal of stress and dismay. Which is easier said than done but I do try to the best of my abilities. Really, I do.

Yes staying positive is a key to having a good day. It may not be all the time but I guess it's a good thing that we are trying with all our best to be better. It's a good idea also to stay away from those people who are irritating. I also try to stay away from those kinds of people because they will not bring you any good. Like you do, I always try as well to do it to the best of my abilities.

I don't find a situation where I should make a wonderful day into a bad one, but if for whatever reason that is needed, the best way for me is probably to get really angry. Or maybe get into a fight or argument with someone close to me or someone in general. That usually leads to something bad right away.

Hello asianjabba. I think actually that no one wants to make their day bad if given a choice but sometimes we unconsciously do it. There are decisions and actions that we do and becomes unaware that it has already ruined our day. I have read that common reasons are anger or lose of temper. So this is just a realization that if we know what usually ruins our day then I think we have a higher possibility to counter or avoid it although not all the time that we have control over it. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.

I've had a really bad day today because I have eaten too many sweets and bad things. So much for my diet today. I am going to have to start again tomorrow. I feel so bad now that I eat too many sweets. So yeah that's a bad day for me.

Hello Mickie. Thanks for responding. That's better to just start anew instead of thinking about how your day becomes bad. Hope you'll be able to start your day good. Just a little control over those sweets. Have a nice day!

Hi I feel that it is beyond our control to either make our day wonderful or bad. Its just not in our hands. We can only try, but there are so many other factors on which we do not have any control.

Hello amirev. Oh yes I am aware of that but it just made me think that sometimes we become unaware that our attitude or actions towards things usually makes our day unpleasant. Sometimes it's our outlook in life and how we face certain situations that makes our day, and I do believe that we have a choice on this but most of the time we can't help it but give in to what we feel. There are also times that no matter how much we try it will still turn out bad. Well thank you for sharing your thoughts. I just hope that we'll have more good days to come than bad days.

It really feels bad waking up in the middle of a wonderful dream. That's funny I think because this is the first time I heard having a bad day because of reading. I don't know if you still go to school today but if ever you already don't then I can't imagine how many bad days you have during the time you're still a student.

I guess bad habits and bad temper can spoil the day because Will involve argue with many people maybe due to bad feeling just bad mood and such . Genetics bad days better forms to keep quiet than sad the wrong things and cause further disagreement . Sometime being accuse of things that is false made me go mad too.

Hi kukueye. That is really maddening being accused of things. So true that bad habits and bad temper are common factors that spoils our day so as much as possible I keep myself not to argue. Sometimes it's just sad because we know it's not good but we still end up doing it. I hope we'll have more control over our tempers. Thanks for responding. Have a nice day ahead.

I don't know how long I could withstand that if I were in your situation. Dealing with kids takes so much patience and dedication. I hope you can extend your patience more so that it wouldn't ruin your day. I have nothing much that I can say here but wish you good luck on your work. Hope you'll be able to handle it smoothly next time.

It is very simple. Slap with hands or slap with tongue someone may make a day bad. Otherwise if I will get my day bad by picking up argue about meagre things.

Hi suparna. Welcome to myLot. That is the very reason why I don't argue and as much as possible try to avoid it. My point here is that it will be easier to have a nice day if we know how to control ourselves. Yes it's easy to make it bad as well so it's our choice also which I believe whether we'll have a good day or not. Have a nice day ahead.
