Having a bad day?

The distance from dreams to reality is really far and probably impossible

Don’t you worry, I have some advice to help you get through it

We are all in this together….until I have something better to do

1. Drown your sorrows in a bathtub full of ice cream. Because nothing says self-love like a sugar-induced coma and an expanding waistline

2. Write a resignation letter to the universe, expressing your disappointment in it’s lack of consideration for your feelings

3. Create a voodoo doll of yourself and poke it incessantly, transferring all your negative energy into it; so it, in turn, passes it back to yourself. So you are stuck in an endless circle of pain

4. Have an imaginary argument with a Linkedinfluencer in your head. Let your frustration out by passionately debating with them about important issues like whether pineapple belongs on pizza or not

5. Host a pity party for one. Decorate your living room with black balloons, play sad songs, and indulge in a feast of junk food. Embrace the darkness and revel in your misery

6. Start a collection of rejection letters and frame them on your wall. Admire your ability to consistently be overlooked and take pride in your resilience. Who needs validation anyway?

7. Take a long, contemplative walk on a treadmill that’s set on the slowest speed possible. Reflect on the mundanity of life and wonder if there’s some kind of conspiracy against your happiness

8. Write a strongly worded letter to your favorite inanimate object, expressing your disappointment in its inability to bring you joy. After all, your toaster should know better than to burn your toast

9. Create a “wall of shame” featuring all your embarrassing moments and failures. Remind yourself of your shortcomings daily, because what’s life without a constant reminder of your inadequacy?

10. Change your voicemail greeting to a dramatic monologue about your terrible day. Make sure to include sobbing for dramatic effect

Hope that has been helpful, and just remember…

Things will probably get worse
