...why not just let it be?
It just occured to me that we buy into the self-help culture so much we automatically think we should always be happy. Even if we are not we should try or pretend to be...we should be positive and sometimes it's even a sign of politeness...
We can say it's right generally. Often it makes things easier and our lives happier (though we don't really know why in the first place happiness should be so important to a meaningful & fulfilled life).
And we forgot certain 'negative' emotions can be a source of really meaningful efforts or beautiful art works or dogged persistence. And we forgot these can be part of those precious experiences in life through which we grow...that we may savor decades later...
So if your day sucked, instead of rushing to cheer up yourself immediately...why not just sit back and let it be...let your life happen and feel it consciously...
...the moments that are meaningfully and beautifully melancholy.
