I know I have used this quote before on this blog, but it's time to give it a shout out again.
Yesterday I was Ivan the Terrible. I mean I was in a really awful mood. I think I threatened to kill two different coworkers. Luckily they see through my bullshit and laughed it off.
I, however, was incapable of laughing anything off. It started Sunday, and I think it must have been a combination of a tough week ahead and the conclusion of one of my favorite holidays...and my birthday month. (All of that mixed in with some ridiculous traffic.) Anyway, no attempt to talk myself out of the bad mood or distract myself from the mood worked.
Finally when I got home from work (late) I decided to just pretend I had a fantastic day. I danced around a little, made myself a yummy cheeseburger, watched some TV, etc. I pretended I didn't have a ton of laundry and work to do. I pretended my day didn't totally suck. And by the time I went to bed, I was feeling better.
Now this obviously does not work with everything. The laundry for instance is still overflowing the basket in my closet, but I'll knock it out without knocking a person out now that my mood has improved!
So if you are having a bad day, fake it. And eventually, you'll make it!
Happy Tuesday folks!
