Because we all have them.

That dreadful day you knew was coming for weeks has finally arrived, and even though you've been anticipating, you still don’t really know how to deal with it.
You’re overcome with anxiety and panic, and you feel like you can’t function without thinking about how horrible this day is going to be. You want to sleep in all day, but you know you have too many responsibilities that can’t be avoided.
The day sweeps you up and you can’t seem to get down from the ominous cloud of despair you’re stuck on.
Everyone has days like this, when we can’t function correctly because of the anxiety the dreadful day is bringing. But you know, it actually doesn’t always have to be this way. Yes, bad days really suck and anxiety doesn’t just go away so easily.
But there are fun and easy ways to ease your mind and relax, at least a bit.
Taking your mind off of the day you don't want to face is a must. You need something to both distract you from the problem and give you a surge of positivity and happiness.
While some of us have easy ways of doing this and making it work, others don't have a go-to coping mechanism they know they can always rely on when they need something to turn to that will deflect the negativity the day will inevitably bring.
Of course, just how serious a bad day may be varies to different degrees for everyone. Sometimes it can be brought on by something you can’t control or stop, but even so, and no matter how bad it may get, it’s nice to find at least something to smile about no matter how far down in the dumps you're bound to go.
If you’re determined to bring some joy into your horrible, no good, very bad day, look no further than at these quotes on happiness to bring your dreadful day to a halt.
