HOW TO BOUNCE BACK FROM A BAD DAY AT WORK

David Burkus on how to bounce back from a bad day at work. When you have a bad day at work, you probably want to just go home and relax and disconnect. But research suggests that may not be the best way to deal with a bad day at work. Instead, use your after hours to engage in activities that promote learning and mastery, and you'll be more motivated to arrive the next day and tackle whatever challenges led to the bad day at work yesterday.

Thanks for watching. What "mastery" activities do you use to recharge?

Today at work i failed at litterally everything i could. A coworker even told me to stop working after i messed up organizing a meeting with a client. Confidnece and self-worth are gone.

Wish I knew about this prior, made a lot of mistakes at work yesterday, relaxed at home but I still feel on edge about working again today

Bad day at school as a teacher today. Issues with leadership and office politics. I harnessed my angry energy after school finished and used it to plan a kick-ass science unit for the kids next semester. Feeling reassured about why I do it all and it puts into perspective what actually matters.

I used to like my co-worker and he liked me until he accused me of stealing his clients. It happened on Friday, so I thought about it all weekend and the depressed thoughts ruined my weekend off.

bad day at working in the kitchen cafe today. I put the wrong labels on food boxes and misheard my boss' words more than once 🤦🏽‍♀They still didn't trust me and gave my work to the other worker. This is the only day I performed poorly 😭

Today I had a bad day....at work...I felt like I am not up to the completed 6 months on job....

Today I waited for a task to get completed the whole day from another team and worked nothing.... supervisor scolded me somewhat.. for waiting for that task the whole day... I felt ashamed today... how can I do this.

Something within me is holding me back....
Im afraid what will happen if I am not up to the mark.

I usually stay up too late playing guitar. I have no interest in playing during the day.
