So, we all have bad days, days when absolutely nothing goes right, days when other peoples actions change our lives in some way or change our mood….. It might be a bad day at work…… Meeting every red light during a journey, making you late ….. Having to go out in the rain and forgetting your brolly and getting soaked before you reach your destination ….. So, when you have had a bad day ….what do you do to relax or make yourself feel better….. ? For me, it’s usually watching a favourite tv programme or a glass of wine, or talking to a friend……maybe a treat, like some chocolate.

I usually light an aromatherapy candle. It always seems to make me feel better.

I love to plau video games in the pc or cellphone. If i enjoy the game, it makes me lose track of time though, so i limit it sometimes.

It’s easy to forget time when playing games…..

I stretch out on my bed or the couch and quietly read or take a nap. Keeping things quiet always helps me stay calm and comfortable.

I had a rough day. In the newest voters list of our state names of two persons of my family are being shown deleted . I spent the whole afternoon trying to find out what should be done to get the names included in the voters' list. Without it we are as good as non citizens and not entitled to enjoy citizenship rights. I had a good mug of tea to unwind.

I get under my blanket in my recliner and close my eyes.

@Traceyjayne Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I will fall asleep.

I always look on the bright side of life And then I laugh and giggle a lot But that might be what I am smoking We all have days like that as you say, and with the examples you cite. But are they really bad enough to get under my skin just a little, eh no Honestly, most stuff that makes a bad day for people is like water off a ducks back to me

@Traceyjayne No And when I do it's just one little smoke I haven't got the lungs for it anymore This is me weaning myself off of it after the best part of 50 years
