What's behind those down days?
Bad weather, tiredness, too long 'til
your next vacation?
Sometimes it's really as simple as that,
and a good kvetch (don't know what this is?
See 'Kvetching 101'), takes care of it…
Often we panic on those down days,
feeling like there is something really wrong with us…

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON…
Sometimes, of course, we can't blame it on the weather, and then doing a
little detective work to find the real cause of our 'down' is the remedy.
TRY THESE SIMPLE STEPS:
1) Release the tension.
Kvetch
Cry
Pound a pillow
Do 3 minutes of deep breathing
2) Check for your Inner Bully
voice.
"Bad, bad bad!"
"It's your fault!"
"You deserve
it!"
"You didn't
listen!"
"They all hate you…"
You get the drift. Your Inner Bully is scolding you for
something and making you feel awful!
3) Check for 'Bullies in the
Bush'.
These are those external bullies who might have dropped a nasty in your
direction. Any scolding from others - overt
or implied - fits this category.
4) Fight back.
Have an imaginary dialog with whoever is giving you a bad time. Tell them to back off! Really ham it up! This one is between you and the walls so go
for it.
Remember you are looking to release
tension.
5) Give yourself a gold star for
effort.
Feel that pat on the back as you smile and wink at yourself in the mirror.
