the blue days (by Bradley Trevor Greive)

Everybody has blue days. 

These are miserable days when you feel lousy,

grumpy,

lonely,

and utterly exhausted.

Just getting started seems impossible.

On blue days you feel frustrated and anxious,

which can induce a nail-biting frenzy

that can escalate into a

triple-chocolate-mud-cake-eating

frenzy in a blink of an eye!

So how can you find that blissful "just sliding

into a hot bubble bath" kind of feeling?

It's easy.

Now, just relax.

Take some deep breaths.

(in through the nose and out through the mouth)

Try to meditate if you can.

Or go for a walk to clear your head.

Accept the fact that you'll have to let

go of some emotional baggage.

Try seeing things from a different perspective.

Maybe you’re actually the one at fault.

If that's the case, be big enough to say you're sorry.

(it's never too late to do this.)

If someone else is doing the wrong thing,
stand up tall and say,

"That's not right and I won't stand for it!"

It's okay to be forceful.

Be proud of who you are,

but don't lose the ability to laugh at yourself.

(this is a lot easier when you associate with
positive people.)

Live every day as if it were your last,

because one day it will be.

Don't be afraid to bite off more than you can chew.

Take big risks.

Never hang back. Get out there and go for it.

After all, isn't that what life is all about?

I think so too.
