It becomes increasingly tiring and consuming when a bad day gets the best of you, maybe you accidentally spilt a cup of coffee over your clothes on the way out, or you missed your regular train and the next one which gets you just in time for school/work is delayed. Saying things like 'my luck today is not great' or 'today's not a good day for me', are ways of setting the expectations of your day negatively, and it's no surprise when things continue to go wrong. However shrugging your shoulders about an unfortunate event, however large or minor and starting over again in anticipation of positive outcomes, is a way of getting you out of those end-of- the day dips into resentment.
but hang on...what if an event which you cant control takes place? you feel terribly sick or your body is riddled with inexplicable pain? There's no way of getting a hint of positivity from a situation like that! and you cant help but be affected by the controls of biological forces. Then you begin to snap at people and spread a miserable countenance- it happens all the time; and it doesn't just mean the person who's in physical pain is upset, but the people around them (who can also be important to them) are affected negatively also. Its hard, I know, to spiral out of a pit of pain or distress, but it's still possible to smile, and in doing so, the way you feel mentally or physically could be transformed for the better...because that smile, (this is going to sound sappy) will be replicated for you into complete care and compassion by the people around you.
