What do you do when your day hasn't gone well?
How was your journey home yesterday?
Did you sit in your car, or on the train, going over the events of the day? \xa0
Going over and over the conversations you had - what you could have said, what you should have said.\xa0 \xa0
When you got home, did it continue.\xa0 Instead of inside your head, you went over things with who ever would listen, "you wouldn't believe the day I have had, and I should have done this and I could have done that..."\xa0
Do you remember how you were feeling when you replayed these incidents over and over in your head? Upset? Anxious? Angry?\xa0
\xa0You may have left work hours ago, but the replaying of your day is keeping those feelings alive...
