All the strategies in the world won't protect you from having an occasional bad day. Bad days are just ... part of being human. But how we respond to a bad day can make all the difference in the world.

In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I dig into the two options you can choose from when your day begins to tank: quit the day (this is actually a legitimate option) or do what you can to salvage what's left of it.

What You Learn:

• How to tell the difference between a bad day that needs fixing and one you should just let go.
• Five realistic strategies to reset your mood, energy, and focus when things fall apart.
• Why changing your environment—or even just your sensory input—can instantly shift your mental state.
• The surprising link between movement, mood, and executive function (and how to use it on tough days).
• What NOT to do when your day derails
