Calming the Chaos: What Anxeity is?: How do you recover from a “bad” day?

In a Nutshell

We all handle "bad" days differently. Some of us need a good workout to feel better, while others just want to sit on the couch and stuff their face with their favorite comfort foods. (Hi, I'm that "other" person.)

what's got us buzzing

Here's how we take care of ourselves after rough days

"My usual formula for recovering after a bad day: Gym class → hot shower → cozy pajamas → dog cuddles → TV series → sweet treats. Works like a charm most of the time!" — Chloe Szilagyi, editor

"It depends on what made the day 'bad.' If I was angry or frustrated, talking it out with someone could help me blow off steam. If it was emotionally draining, usually taking a hot shower, getting in cozy clothes, eating comfort food or a yummy dessert, and playing video games will do the trick." — Morgan Mandriota, newsletter editor

"A longer run — think 4+ miles. I recover by detaching myself from devices, conversations, and people. When I go for a run that lasts for a while, I'm forced to focus on only my breathing, pacing, and sightseeing of my environment. By the end, I'm basking in a runner's high and feel much lighter from whatever was weighing me down." — Kenny Thapoung, managing newsletter editor

"I go for a walk if I have the energy and spend time on the couch with my cats." — Samantha Costa, editor

"Snuggling with my dogs or showering. They both make me feel refreshed!" — Ren Dias, editor

"If it's a very long or busy day, I try to fit in a few rounds of box breathing, walking my dog, snuggling with my cat, or a quick 10- to 15-minute walk on the treadmill. If it's the weekend or on a day when I can get out for an hour or 2 after work, I hit the rock climbing gym and climb as hard as I can for a full recharge, all while trying to get my brain 'rewired' for whatever is coming next." — Angela Chao, director of global news

"Well, I feel very lazy because my answer includes zero exercise in favor of going to bed extra early. A lot of times, a day feels worse than it is because I'm tired. Getting in bed early (like 9ish for me) lets the 'bad' day end sooner, and it helps me get the rest I probably need to wake up brighter the next day." — Chrissie Moore, editorial director
