How I handle bad days

 After a break enforced by a short holiday and some medical issues, I'm back on the Long and Short Reviews blog hop for this one.

Believe me, I've had to find methods of self-care, ever since working at my previous job where people, including me, were off sick with stress multiple times a year. That's less of an issue with my current day job, but it's still something I have to keep an eye on.

So how do I handle a bad day?

It's quite simple really. I have two major guilty pleasures which I combine when I need to chill out.

I pour a glass of wine and put on a quiz show.

I'm not going to explain why I go for the wine, but quiz shows have always been something I love to relax to, and luckily there will always be at least one on Challenge.

So how do you handle bad days?

  1. Yeah, I love a quiz show as well. I never thought about it for this. But they're great for losing yourself for a while

  2. Quiz shows are fun... and I feel like it's being somewhat productive because sometimes I actually learn something!!

  4. I had a job like that once. So incredibly difficult.

    I’m glad you’re in a better place now.

    1. I did like the job, but I definitely prefer not being so stressed in this one.

  5. Quiz shows are nothing to feel guilty about. The format's been adapted as an alternative testing method at some of the best schools!
