ure, and using them to propel you to the next level, you bring yourself closer to success with each decision.

6. Take the Next Step

While the name makes this step seem like the easiest of the bunch, it truly can be the most difficult. When we have been knocked to the ground time and time again, we get comfortable on the ground and begin to believe that is where we belong. It is in these times that our next step becomes vital. We are always one step away from achieving our goals, running a race happens one step at a time, and overcoming our foes requires us t

1. Throw a Fit

Probably one of the most colorful ways to deal with frustration, throwing a fit provides the stress relieving effects of cursing obscenities at inanimate objects, kicking things that hurt (bricks, walls etc.), and embarrassing yourself in public. While this form of treatment should be reserved for the most infuriating of times, the actions taken during a "fit" can provide for ample entertainment for those around you and definite ribbing from your friends in the near future.

2. Blame Someone Else

This technique is a great way to focus energy away from what you may have done to create the bad day and redirect it to an unknowing soul, generally someone close to you (e.g. wife, kids, and friends). For those more creative souls, blaming someone does not have to be limited to those around you, for instance you could use a political party of your choosing, an entire gender (great for driving blame games), or your higher power, although not recommended during a storm. While alienation and ridicule are the obvious byproducts of blaming someone, your true reward comes from making them feel worse so you can feel better.

3. Lubricate

Lubrication is probably amongst the most popular ways to get over a bad day. Common lubricants are soda, tea, coffee or water, but for those with the passion for self destruction we turn to the type of lubricants that you must be 21 to consume. The primary benefits of using lubrication to deal with a bad day include saying things you wished you had not, loss of physical conditioning, and most of all loss of memory. While it may seem obvious to use a "downer" to feel better, pause for reflection, some people still choose to use other techniques for overcoming a bad day...such as the following 3

4. Create a Vendetta

Revenge is a powerful tool. Unlike the revenge we seek when using the blaming someone tactic, when we decide to make achieving our goal a way of proving to ourselves that we can, we find ways to get it done.

5. Strengthen Resolve

For those less inclined to be self destructive in dealing with the bad day blues, you can choose to make every negative situation reinforce the desire to finish what you started. Failure is the requirement of success. By capitalizing on each failure, and using them to propel you to the next level, you bring yourself closer to success with each decision.
