1. Exercise. Punch it out in kickboxing or just run like crazy. Get all that negative energy out!
2. Meditate. If meditation isn’t your thing and too New Age-y for you, then do something that allows you some quiet time. The point is to relax your mind.
3. Learn the lesson you’ve been dealt. Every bad situation has a positive, so try to look at the bright side of things. If there really isn’t a positive, then there’s a lesson to be learnt somewhere.
4. Put things in perspective - you’re most likely not going to think about this stressful situation during your deathbed. Let it go.
5. You might feel like crashing on your bed or being a lump in front of your TV, but try to do something productive for yourself that will help you feel better and a little accomplished about your day. It can be something as easy as working on a hobby you like, or if you’re a glutton for punishment, do a chore you’ve been putting off. When you go to bed, at least you can feel like you’ve done something productive.
