How do you turn around a bad/anxiety ridden day?

What is your favorite way of making yourself feel better when you’re having a bad day and everything feels bleak?

note/update: thank you so much for your comforting thoughts and suggestions! reading them has eased my anxiety so much :) it’s so comforting to know we find relief in similar things. I’m looking forward to going home from work & putting some of your suggestions to practice.

Don't see it as a bad day anymore, first of all. You had a bad moment. Now you'll have a bad fifteen minutes as you come to terms with whatever happened and come to accept it. Don't give it the power to ruin the whole day, man. Shake yourself off and try to have a better next fifteen minutes.
