The Blue Day Book Bradley Trevor Greive 
(ISBN 0091842050)
2
Everybody has blue days.
3
These are miserable days when you feel lousy,
4
grumpy,
5
lonely,
6
and utterly exhausted.
7
Just getting started seems impossible.
8
On blue days you can become paranoid that
everyone is out to get you. (This is not always
such a bad thing.)
9
You feel frustrated and anxious,
10
which can induce a nail-biting frenzy
11
that can escalate into a triple-chocolate-mud- ca
ke-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye!
12
So how can you find that blissful "just sliding
into a hot bubble bath" kind of feeling?
13
It's easy.
14
First, stop slinking away from all those nagging
issues. It's time to face the music
15
Now, just relax. Take some deep breaths. (in
through the nose and out through the mouth) Try
to meditate if you can.
16
Or go for a walk to clear your head.
17
Accept the fact that you'll have to let go of
some emotional baggage.
18
Try seeing things from a different perspective.
19
Maybe youre actually the one at fault. If
that's the case, be big enough to say you're
sorry. (it's never too late to do this.)
20
If someone else is doing the wrong thing, stand
up tall and say, "That's not right and I won't
stand for it!" It's okay to be forceful.
21
(It's rarely okay to blow raspberries.)
22
Be proud of who you are,
23
but don't lose the ability to laugh at yourself.
24
(this is a lot easier when you associate with
positive people.)
25
Live every day as if it were your last, because
one day it will be.
26
Don't be afraid to bite off more than you can
chew.
27
Take big risks.
28
Never hang back. Get out there and go for it.
29
After all, isn't that what life is all about?
30
I think so too.
