It\u2019s the day after a really bad day. Yesterday, your scenes sucked, and today has to be better, or why are you even\u00a0here?<\/p>\n

Today feels like waking up from a bad dream. It feels like a karmic hangover. It feels like the day after you\u2019ve been operated on. It feels like the first day you\u2019ve been able to eat solid food in a week. It feels like the day after you got a notice from the bank that there\u2019s been a mistake on a mortgage application, and that house, the one you have your heart set on? Well, maybe it\u2019s not going to\u00a0happen.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the day after days like all of those. Here\u2019s a game that\u2019ll help you make Today a better day than Yesterday.<\/p>\n

Game of the Day: <\/strong>Cutting Room\u00a0Floor<\/em><\/p>\n

So you are trying to recover from the bad day that happened yesterday. Let\u2019s pretend that you are an actor in a movie and you can have the director cut out or edit any of the \u201cbad things\u201d that happened yesterday.<\/p>\n

Think through the \u201cscript\u201d of yesterday and rewrite new scenes in the place of the bad things that happened. For instance if you wish you could take back the way you reacted to a coworker, now script out new lines of dialogue of how you could handle that\u00a0part.<\/p>\n

Get creative!<\/p>\n
