Don’t come home upset. Take a minute to compose yourself before you step in the door. Whatever happened in your day can be left at the office. 

When you come home think of it as a new day. A fresh start. If you’ve had a bad day move on from it. It’s not the end of the world. Don’t dwell on your day.

Inversely, if you’ve had a great day it feels good to share that with your spouse or family. Don’t pretend like you’ve never had a bad day, just don’t take your anger from your day out on your loved ones. 

You don’t want to come home a say something you don’t mean. 

Think about what went wrong during your day and think of a different approach for tomorrow. Ask yourself why you think he day was bad. What made today so disappointing? 

You may realize your day wasn’t that bad. You’re stressing out about something very small. When you really think back on what made your day good or bad you’ll most likely realize it’s a lot about mindset. 

Your perception of your life becomes your reality. If you think your job sucks and you’re not good at what you do. Guess what? You’ll most likely suck at your job and hate your life. 

Focus on the things that went well throughout the day and improve the areas that went bad. You’ll have bad days, that’s inevitable. It’s alright to be frustrated and angry. Do that on your car ride home or your walk or bike home. 

Don’t walk into your house guns a blazing. 

Pause before you walk in, take a deep breath, and be grateful for your family. That alone will make your day better.
