Bad
days. They happen sometimes right? I can definitely say that I have had
my share of bad days. But what I hate about bad days, is when they get
worse. But,
do you think we should stay in a funk when we get down? NO! We find
ways to turn our frowns upside down! And what better way than to have
some of our Disney pals show us how!
1.) Breathe!
Good
stuff in, bad stuff out...Sometimes everything keeps piling up and it
can get intense. Take a moment. Forget everything you need to do. And
just relax...taking a few minutes to yourself can ease your mind and
you'll be feeling better in no time!

2.) Sing and Dance to a Happy song
Music is such a great mood influencer. Crank up some happy tunes and belt it out! No one will judge you. Promise! While
you are practicing for your American Idol audition, bust a few moves! I
have something called a 30 second dance party. Whenever I start getting
stressed, or need to shake something off, I yell "30 SECOND DANCE
PARTY!!!" And everyone has to dance for 30 seconds. Yes, everyone.
3.) Go to your happy place.
We
all have a happy place right?! You close your eyes and visualize
something that makes you happy! For me I picture myself going on Splash
Mountain. I close my eyes and visualize myself walking through the line
and going on the ride. Although it's definitely not the same as the real
thing it still puts a smile on my face. When I'm super sad and
stressed, I think of the fireworks at Disneyland!
4.) Hang out with friends that'll make you laugh
Laughter
is the best medicine! If you can't be with your friends at that moment,
just text them, or call them, When you surround yourself with positive
people, it gets you out of that negative mindset!
5.) Watch a funny movie
Find
a movie that will make your side split from laughing! It'll get your
mind off of your stresses and it is a great way to relax at the end of a
hard day.
6.) Keep Moving Forward
Sometimes
when we get upset, we end up being stuck in our feelings. This makes it
hard to move on and grow. You might have failed a test, or got passed
up for a promotion or new job. Don't let it bring you down to the point
where you don't want to try! As Walt Disney and the Robinson family
says: "Keep Moving Forward!!" Don't look back! "There's a great big
beautiful tomorrow!"
7.) Get in touch with nature
Stand
barefoot in grass, go for a hike, walk through a garden. Something
about nature helps you realize how beautiful the world is and all those
things that made you feel sad or mad will disappear!
8.) Take a nap
umm...self
explanatory...naps pretty much solve EVERYTHING! Don't you wish that
you took full advantage of them back when nap time was mandatory?
Sometimes after the carton of ice cream and the funny movie has failed,
you just got to crawl under the covers for an hour and slip off to
dreamland.

9.) Think of A Wonderful Thought
Much like number 3, this is all about positive visualization. Send
a few minutes thinking about anything that will put a smile on your
face. Think of Christmas, or think of snow! Think of mermaid lagoon,
underneath a magic moon! See, you're already smiling! Now only if you
had some pixie dust....
10.) Let It Go!
Elsa
definitely taught us something didn't she? There are going to be bad
days at work, home or school. People will say things that irk us or hurt
our feelings. The best thing we can do, is just let it go. Don't let it
bother you for too long. Recognize you feelings and then start to get
into a positive mindset.
