So it's a bad day....

So it's a bad day, this too will pass and the sun will come back.

Maintaining a cheerful and positive outlook is a trick. At first you don't have to believe it - just do it.

Act it. Pretend. But do it. After a little while you'll find it isn't an act, you're not pretending, you genuinely do feel cheerful. it's a trick. you are tricking yourself, no one else. All it takes is the first few days smiling when you don't feel like it and you will start a cycle going that will make you feel better all the time.

So someone brings you more work that you simply have to do - it's unavoidable and part of your remit, and just when you thought you could see a little light at the end of the tunnel. Easy to say, 'Oh no, not more bloody work. Can't everybody see how busy I am? This really too much' . If it's unavoidable and moaning isn't going to change a thing then maybe saying, 'Fine, just dump it here, I'll get on with it in a moment. Thanks' . Why berate the messenger? I'm sure they didn't personally generate all this extra work just to piss you off. So it;s a drag having extra work to do. So what? So be cheerful and get on with it. Every second spent moaning and bitching is a second taken off your life. Every second spent being cheerful and positive is a second added on. Take your choice.
