Rough day

Dairy Queen. The answer is always Dairy Queen.

 

A man after my own heart!

 

For me, a nice long bike ride. There are places that I ride to in DC that make me feel like I'm on vacation.

I find a nice long bike ride clears my head amazingly. I think about all sorts of random subjects, and think through issues that I had pushed to the back of my mind.

Sorry you had a bad day man.....exercise, exercise, exercise

 

Got to agree with jeepo1 on this. Not that I couldn't enjoy several of the other suggestions, but nothing does more to get me in a positive frame of mind than investing an hour's worth of sweat equity in myself. Like maninsoma, I prefer it in the morning (tends to give me a good outlook on the day), but the more important thing is making a habit of it. I feel like I'm doing something good for myself and it helps keep whatever bad stuff comes along from throwing me for a loop.

 

Hope today's a better day, amused1.

When you need DQ abs don't matter.

 

Abs ALWAYS matter, my good man. Anyone who says otherwise is carpooling to Hell with Richard Simmons & Frank DeCaro....

It's only been sort of suggested once above but since you don't drink there's always........well......just check out my Avatar to the left. Guaranteed to put you in a better mood. Do some of that in whatever form you wish then go to YouTube and look at funny animal videos till you can't breathe from laughing.

Abs ALWAYS matter, my good man.

I love a good set of abs as much as the next gay man, but some of us are resigned to not having a set. The choice is going crazy in the gym or vicarious attachment to them through an appropriately endowed partner!

For me it's usually a long walk, using the first 30 minutes of the walk to wallow in my crappy feelings, process the events of the day and put things in perspective. The remainder of the walk is music, a podcast or something else to get my mind off the day.

I see the two as separate, Zip. The ride (or walk in your case) is, to me, the point of it, and music or a podcast would be a distraction. Even walking through an unfamiliar area can be a distraction in the way that a bike ride along an unremarkable country road is not. A train trip, with no book or any other distraction, just looking out the window as the world rushes by can be similarly cathartic!

Had a rough day at work today. What do you do to process a bad day? Note, I don't do booze. .

It depends. Sometimes, I go walking. I typically walk a 12 - 15 minute mile, but after a particularly bad day I've done an 11 or even 10 minute mile. Other times, I find a nice nap followed by a long walk can do the trick.

 

Lastly, after a VERY bad day a few years ago a guy I was hiring fairly frequently called me to say he was in town and asked if I wanted to get together. After he had a very sweaty workout, we engaged in an aromatherapy session.

I ended up eating a bowl of veggie soup, made from veg from my garden this summer and going to bed early. After 21 days of work, I finally have 1.5 days off.

 

As for walking or biking, the 20 degree weather is a bit of a deterrent. .

The bitter cold is always a good distraction. Nothing will get your mind off mundane bad day thoughts like frostbite

After a particularly bad day, I sign onto Daddy's and rejoice in the fact that no matter how bad my life seems, it is never as bad as as Mocha's. Man that man has some bad stuff.

I don't have a foot fetish but really like my toes.

Excellent decision. Just sleep that shit away and get up early the next morning and exercise. It's a great way to say hello to a new day and start over.

Well, you could buy one of those small size trampoline/rebounders from Wal-Mart. If someone pisses you off, jump on that for 30 minutes imagining you are jumping up and down on their face.....works off anger AND is low impact cardio....

Don't tell me someone stole his lube again?
