How do you "come down" from a bad day?

Depends on what was bad about it but common solutions are:

A good hard workout
Good music on loud
Cleaning my house
Reading- I have a few "escape" books that always can hijack my brain
Make a plan for something positive to do, either later that day or even later in the week/month. Something to look forward to and change my focus.
See where I can create change in the situation- can I fix what's going wrong.
See where I can create change in how I'm reacting or responding to the situation if I can't change the situation itself.
Sometimes I just need to laugh - usually with the kiddo. We'll play a stupid game, pull pranks on each other, watch I Love Lucy...

I count my blessings, look at what I have to be grateful for. It's a lot.

My favorite is to just take a nap while Fifth Element plays in the background. Or Blade Runner..... or something really mindless from the 50's and 60's film noire collection.
