From "Bad Days" to "Learning Days"
Each of us experiences fulfilling days in our
lives, though the reasons are unique to each of us. Some might feel fulfilled
because the day went according to plan; others because they faced a crisis
effectively, or because they were appreciated by someone important.
Conversely, we sometimes label a day as
"bad" when things don't go our way—when challenges arise, we are kept
waiting, or we face criticism.
When things fall into place, we call it a
fulfilling day. When they don't, we often call it a "bad day" rather
than an "unfulfilling" one. You might wonder, what's in a word? Words
do matter. Calling a day "bad" can put us in a bad mood. We might
carry that negativity home and even to bed, where it can disrupt our sleep,
trading sweet dreams for nightmares.
The good news is that we can find balance by
staying neutral. A day is just a day. Sometimes it is fulfilling; sometimes it
is a learning day.
If we consider ourselves eternal students of life,
every day can become our teacher. By repeating the good practices from
fulfilling days, we invite more of them into our lives. And by learning from
our unfulfilling days, we can reduce the number of them.
Go ahead,
review what yesterday taught you. Apply that lesson today to create a better
tomorrow.
