Having a Bad Day at Work?
Posted in Graduate Experience on Feb 10th, 2009
Bad days are often self-perpetuating. You convince yourself that you are having a bad day and then look for all the evidence that you are indeed having a bad day. This just reinforces a negative outlook that will undermine your confidence and likely to fulfil your expectation of a bad day. Congratulations! One bad day accomplished!
We like to over dramatise. It gives us something to talk about and a basis to relate to one another. How else do you explain the inane conversations about whether it feels like a Tuesday or a Wednesday today? It’s just silly conversation. So is the proclamation that I am having a bad day. Not because they don’t occur, because they can and do. But often, they’re really not as bad as people make out.
