But why? Sometimes there's a "domino effect " with bad events. For example, you sleep through the alarm, so you're stressed. And you will sit in the bad traffic, which will also make you late to work, etc.       How can we turn a bad day to a good day? Here are some ideas that have worked for me:       Smile a lot       Smiling a lot will help you feel relaxed. Research has shown that smiling produces three useful chemicals which make us feel good.       Talk to a good friend      Talk to someone who cares and listens really does help us feel better, too.       Focus on your good things      It's hard to focus on how bad things are when you're focusing on how good things are!  Think of 10 or more things you're thankful for, and you'll achieve a whole new outlook (人生观) on your day.       Get some exercise       If you can, exercise. Exercising will help you feel better and it can get your day back to be normal again.      Make the day a challenge       If you make yourself think of the day as a challenge, you'll start to do all the things you can to make your day better.
