A Day in the Life....

Ever have one of those days where you're just exhausted and it seems not one, even one little thing, will go right? I'm sure you've probably had many of those days (unless you're living in a parallel universe--like the twilight zone--and all things are perfect). smile...

Anyways, stop and step back for a minute. What has gone right in that day? Did you wake up? (Yes)... Did you have food for breakfast? (Surely)...

My point is... why not write about it? Sit down at your computer or grab a notebook and pen and start jotting down your feelings. Are you angry, exhausted, sad, depressed, harboring hatred at some certain person that did or said something to you that just hurt you to the core? Or are you thankful to no end once you start considering what all you do have to be thankful for? Well, write about it!

Get it all out, however it comes out, not worrying about spelling or grammar, just get it out. You're sure to have one or two or three great stories or title ideas amongst all those words! And you can always edit later. Perhaps you'll even feel better after you let go of all those feelings.... It is, after all, therapy to write down your feelings (and it's free!).

So, next time one of those bad days beats you down, put it all on paper. It just might not be another day in the life... it just might be what inspired your next paycheck!!
