"How to Turn Around a Rough Monday and Make the Most of It"

It starts with you making an "I'm Incredible" list of all that went well for you on an otherwise brutal day. It seems like the very opposite of what you feel like doing but it helps you to realize what actually happened. Did someone notice your day was off and offer their support? That goes into the went well category. When one item after the other ends up making your work life seem tragic, you may need that counter balance that more than the mistake that occurred or over expenditure on the budget. So how do we look at what we are not sure about as promising? It is hard to let go of the desire to make a " I Blew It List" but stick with the upsides or list of wishes, expectations, or a blueprint, or even a frame that reminds you life is made up of millions of choices we have to make daily. not how it all turned out, remind you how you made the most out of it.

Try re-writing the self statements about yourself throughout the day --and what you attribute to them. Not so much measuring or what was done or accomplished. Lets agree to arrive at a congratulatory " a work in progress" and call it a day. You just turned the day around.
