Everybody knows what is a bad day. But our actions at those days may differ. Some of us like to complain, some of us know what to do in the bad situations. So this second part of people has their own methods how to get over those bad days.
 
I generally heal when I'm alone, contemplating things. The more I break down what happened in my day and consider it on an intellectual level, the less power my negative emotions have over my thoughts.
 
I have a problem getting my alone time when I'm having a bad day. For some reason (and maybe it's my own creation) I tend to feel like people hover the more I want to be alone. I've never analyzed if I am just noticing it more when I am down, or if people just truly do not understand that I deal with frustration best on my own, but I prefer to sit and mope by myself to get over bad days ;)
 
I like to listen to Linkin Park or Eminem and just get totally absorbed into the music and pumped up until all the negative energy is drained out of me.
 
I don't have many bad days either. Instead of the ice cream though, I turn on the music and turn out the world for awhile and dance. It helps to clear my mind.
 
I think something that can get you through a bad day is sitting down and watching a movie you enjoy. But something i do is listen to music that you like. Hope this helps and if not , i hope you get through your bad day.
 
I just try to step out of the circle. See things from a different prospective.. so I can realize.. it was just that.. A bad day!
 
Like most here, I also must be alone to restore my calm inner self. Usually I just listen to music and surf the net. I guess it also depends on the magnitude of the badness of the day and the multiple things that make it up. I could also read a book or go for a walk because I live right next to the coast. Or if it's really really bad, I cry myself to sleep... But what I NEVER do is stuff myself with food or starve, like some people do. Especially because I'm a girl, bad days tend to happen more often. But I'm pretty good at being reasonable when having a bad day and know when I need to be alone.
 
Music and Surf the Web! Those are really good ways to clear your mind. Specially if you are into blogging or that kind of stuff.. you allow your self to see new things... without going to far.
 
When I have a bad day, it helps to just stop thinking about whatever is bringing me down and focus all of my attention on something else, even if it's only for a brief period of time.
 
I have different strategies for days like these. Everything depends on the reason that makes him a lousy day. In some cases, I prefer to seek time alone to think quietly and calm down. Other times, I choose some good music and so I try to set the pace of the day. I often turn to the company of my friends, just to have a good time. Also, on days when everything goes wrong, I choose to go jogging around my city to charge positive energy and renew.
 
There's a playlist on my itunes that I like to call my Happy Playlist. It's a list full of songs that I've heard throughout my life that always put me in a good mood when I hear them. Whenever I'm having a rough day, I'll throw that playlist on my speakers and lay in my bed. It always makes me feel better and makes me feel like everything is going to be okay.
 
I think the key to getting over a bad day is to getting "the bad" out of our heads. Whenever I'm in one of those days, I try to not think about it. I try to forget or avoid "the bad cause". Even though it's hard, I try my best to keep myself moving forward, preventing preoccupation with the bad day. It's either I distract myself by listening to music or watching a show or I simply get on doing things that I need to do.
 
It depends on how bad my day was. If it's just ordinary work blues, I usually talk to friends or watch a movie and then I'm okay. But if it relates to my heart or if I'm pretty emotional, I take a long nap first, hoping I feel better the next day. But if I can't sleep, I do a lot of things, I cook, I work out, I go out for a swim , I clean our apartment. I basically try to fill my schedule until I forget. :D
 
Honestly, it depends on how bad it was and the reason why it was bad. Usually I would just keep it in and let it dissipate as I focus on other stuff, but sometimes, usually relationship-wise in this case, I would talk it out with some close friends and consult for their opinion. Otherwise, I listen to music, or do other activities, such as read or surf the internet, to take my mind off of my problems.
 
It depends. Sometimes I just need to vent and talk it out with someone supportive. Other times, I don't want to talk about it at all and just try to forgot. Therefore, I will just listen to music or watch a movie.
 
To get over a bad day I go chill by my friends house. I do that because we clown all day long and have fun. We could just be in the house and have a blast. If my friends are busy than I go play basketball which help me relax and calm down.
 
It depends. Sometimes I just chill and give myself a day off and listen to music. Other times I play music, paint, draw or write....creating usually makes me feel better. Nature is usually good for my soul, too.
