Find a shoe box or metal cookie container and decorate it.  On the lid

write "Bad Day Box"

~

Collect any personal things that warm your heart and/or brings a smile

to your face: photos, cartoon clips, your favorite scripture verses,

poems, pictures of art, a soft soothing music CD, your favorite movie,

your favorite candles, your favorite candy, a small childhood object,

small note pad and pen to write down your thoughts and feelings, etc.

~

Put them all in your Bad Day Box - and keep this box in your private

place (back of your closet, drawer, etc.) so only you can get at it

whenever you're having a "bad day".

~

Take out the box when you are having "one-of-those-days" and go

through your box to cheer you up.

~

WARNING - this box is not to put you into a guilt trip, or for anyone

else in your family to see.  It's just for YOU!  It's your "battery recharger". You shouldn't share this with anyone - it's for your eyes only.

~

Replenish any of your items that you need to before your next "bad day"! Use this box when necessary. ~
