How do you cope with a bad day - without emotional eating, impulsive shopping, or other non-SS comforts?
Nope. Just decided not to waste my time and energy on negative things. It took a lot of practice, tears and Jack Daniels Black label. Everyone has hard times, bad things happen, everything blows up, everything goes wrong. You can let those things take control and run/ruin your life, or you can take control of your life and deal with things as they come up. Give thanks for the good things in life and don’t dwell on the bad.As always @baymule simply amazing.
Agree. My bad day is mostly from not getting enough sleep. So I took a nap and tried hot to fret about "what's wrong?" I don't handle stress well, so the dog-attack-cat incident on Friday messed up everything - GI, sleep, allergies, muscle pain, and dizziness. 🤦♀️ I could fret about all of it or just focus on what I can do something about: eat fiber, take supplements, go to the gym (not many movement opportunities on my place in winter), and take a nap. Maybe a second nap too.it really depends upon what the bad day is about.
I went to bed very early and slept 14 hours. *poof* all better!Agree. My bad day is mostly from not getting enough sleep. So I took a nap and tried hot to fret about "what's wrong?"

I like the hug a goat option, that sounds like a great comfort/therapyNon SS comforts? That's a hard one... Hug a goat is one of my best comforts, but:
Take a walk, lie back and look at the clouds and/or stars, a walk, a nap, a good book, talk/whine/cry/vent to family/friends.
(or hug a goat)
