Things to do when your having a rubbish day!

Everyone has down days or 'wobble' days as I like to call them. This includes every single person whether they have been diagnosed with some kind of mental illness or not. If like me you are very self critical when you do have a 'wobble' day you will blame yourself and in turn make yourself feel 10 times worse about not feeling 100% OK.

But we have to remember its normal to have these kind of days, its just part of life and ladies in particular you will all understand what I mean when it comes to our monthly occurrences.
So I think it is important that instead of making yourself feel worse you should make an effort to do little things you enjoy and treat yourself.

I have made a list of a few things to do when you happen to have one of those kind of days.


  1. Listen to your favourite songs/music, maybe even make a playlist with all those random songs (make it as cheesy as you want to).
  2. Put on said playlist and dance like an idiot. (Preferably Now That's what I Call 90's)
  3. Actually have a cry, let it all out. 
  4. Read, a great book or magazine
  5. Get in touch with someone you haven't spoken to for ages. (use wisely)
  6. Be selfless, think about other people instead of your own situation, put things into perspective. 
  7. Wear your favourite outfit. 
  8. Have a duvet day.
  9. Have a nap. 
  10. Make your own list like this one.
  11. Watch a film, again as cheesy as possible. 
  12. Be organised, sort out your wardrobe, make sure your diary/Filofax is up to date. 
  13. Set yourself goals, then reflect on them after a certain amount of time, see how well you are doing.
  14. Wear your favourite bright lipstick, just because. 
  15. Eat comfort food. 
  16. Meet a friend for tea & cake = the best pick me up! (Rebecca Dilks, you know who you are!) 
  17. Just drink tea in general. 
  18. Have a bath
  19. Catch up on your favourite TV programmes. 
  20. Indulge in your guilty pleasures, = more cheesy films.
  21. Look at old pictures. 
  22. Go to the cinema and have pop corn. 
  23. Get some fresh air, go for a run or a walk. (Weather permitting)
  24. Have a pamper sessions, face mask, nails etc. (You too boys)
  25. Have a take away. 
  26. Do 100 happy days challenge. (Not everyday is always good, but there is something good in everyday)
  27. Make a list of all the things you are grateful for. 
  28. Go on Pinterest!
  29. Do some exercise. 
  30. Have a make up free day. 
  31. Wear your comfiest clothes. 
  32. Have a rant. 
  33. Do something childish. 
  34. Eat Jelly. 
  35. Have a hot choc, with cream, marsh mellows, all the works. 
  36. Do something creative. 
  37. Do someone a favour. 
  38. Hug your pet. 
  39. Make notes about your worries/problems, share them with someone else. 
  40. Get a Pick 'n' Mix with all your fav sweets. 
So there are just a few random things, but I am sure the list can go on and on and is probably different for every one of us. What do you like to do when you are having a rubbish day?
