What's the one thing that always turns a bad day around for you?

Seeing or talking to my kids.

My daughter

The only thing that ever turned a bad day around for me was a hug from my husband so now I come here instead.

My cat

Coming home to my family

A hike in the woods or long walk along the rail-to-trail path

Time with my sons or other family,

This, a pour of bourbon and good music

Time with my dog and husband, a walk, a bath, happy or chill music, a glass of wine, a fun activity

Time alone in silence preferably. A long, indulgent shower. A cup of tea. The understanding hug from my husband.

Booze and YouTube music.

Either nothing or something that keeps me super busy that my mind would have zero time and space to ruminate. I just can't get it out of my head for the rest of my day no matter how many times I reason with myself that it doesn't matter. I wish so much I could just let it go, forget a minute after it happened but unfortunately, it takes some time before my mind drops it and in the meantime there are usually upsurges of emotions in me.

Just waking up knowing I’m ok.

a nice shower or bath

Fresh air.
Going for a walk or drive.
Getting some physical space between me and it.

Sleep
