what a day!

started out crappy from the start. my taxi to work went a different route and that really stressed me out. then the escalator was broken, so was the lift at the station. when i finally got in my building, there were maintenance guys working on the door. this was really noisy. it also meant i had to go a long way round to get to the bathroom. then i had to swap my laptop at work and it kept doing system upgrades and restarts. plus my day was filled with unnecessary phone calls. and it was super cold and windy outside. i don't know how else to explain this other than a day filled with utter chaos from start to finish. i am thankfully now in bed with my heated blanket and wrapped in my duvet. i did some yoga nidra which has helped a bit but still feeling really ramped up. can anyone else relate? how do you bring yourself back down? i am new here. i realise none of the things that happened were life threatening and i might sound like i am overreacting. but it really really messed with my mood today.

  • I think most of us get days where it seems everything is stacked against us.  I often say that if something goes wrong/not to plan early in the day, then it is a sign that most else will follow that pattern, and it often does.  Conversely, I do get days where everything seems to flow smoothly, but not very often. 

    Can you wear ear defenders out?  

  • glad it's not just me then! and yes i do wear noise cancelling headphones from the minute i leave the house. but not really able to in the workplace. i sort of got round that today by wearing my work headset and listening to videos on my intranet just to drown out all the chaos!

  • Fortunately it seems two of those days rarely come together, so chances are tomorrow will be better.  Fingers crossed anyway.
