Too often we allow our bad feelings to dictate to us what the rest of our day will be like; instead of it being the other way around. I’m sure you’ve heard yourself saying this phrase a time or two, “I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”
Waking up on the wrong side of the bed can be cute, but it's never pretty.
You didn’t really get up on the wrong side of the bed, did you?
You got up on the exact same side you’ve been getting out of, some of you for the last 10 + years or more.
I wonder whoever came up with that nonsense, anyways. I mean really… Is there really a right side of the bed that determines how the emotions of our day will play out?
Nope, I didn’t think so.
Here’s what I do believe. Over the years, we have become almost obsessed, going mostly by how we feel. We are beginning to rely on our “feelings” and emotions more and more each day.
So much so, that the evidence shows up in and throughout the way we live from day to day.
We don’t really enjoy waiting that much anymore, do we? We want it faster than we got it on yesterday. If it were for sale, we would buy our happiness clean off the shelves, it wouldn’t even matter if there weren’t enough of it to go around, we’d have to have the last one!
We tell ourselves that we don’t feel like doing this or that, and usually that’s the end of it. “No debates on the matter and no questions asked, please. Thaaanks.”
But one must wonder, are we becoming so in tune with “my emotions”, that we’re drowning out our inner voice in the process.
Do we believe that we have more control over our attitude and physiology than we often give ourselves credit for? Sure, we’re going to have bad days. They’re bound to show up from time to time. Right? I’m sure not even Gandhi had days where everything went as planned.
However, if we take more control of our attitude, body language, and physiology, we would control a lot of those days we choose to blame “the wrong side of the bed” on. Don’t think I’m just talking to you on this… this is goes for me as well. More so for myself.
Anthony Tony Robbins, one of my favorite motivational speakers (as many of you know), in his Unlimited Power collections says this about physiology and body language,
“If you say, ‘I absolutely will do that,’ and your physiology is unified — that is, your posture, your facial expression, your breathing pattern, the quality of your gestures and movements, and your words and tonality match — you absolutely will do it. Congruent states are what we all want to move toward, and the biggest step you can take is to be sure you’re in a firm, decisive, congruent physiology. If your words and your body don’t match up, you’ re not going to be totally effective.” ~Unlimited Power, page 160
I believe what Tony is saying here, is that we have the power within us; we must ignore what we are feeling, and give our subconscious clues, as to what we will feel. It’s almost like a game of chess that we’re playing against our own minds. We have to make the first move. Our mission, to be the first to call, Checkmate.
On WROAR, with Rob and Jk, I’ve been learning a lot of great Personal Growth tips and practices, and something that seems to be a growing pattern with the phenomenal lessons Rob’s been presenting; is that most of the exercises start with playing tricks on our mind and our emotional feelings.
So, I challenge you to make the day effective by starting off with a better outlook of what it will bring. Here’s 5 things that have helped me to throw my feelings under a bus. I hope it does for you, as well. Figuratively speaking, of course. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT THROW YOURSELF UNDER A BUS! Bad Feelings, folks, nothing else… that’s it!
5 Sure Ways to Throw Your Bad Feelings Under a Bus
(I’m sure there are others… find as many as it will take for you)
- Wake up with a smile – Even if you don’t feel like smiling, paste one on until you can convince yourself that it’s supposed to be there.
- Wake up with gratitude and thanks - If for nothing else, but that you were able to see, yet, another awesome day.
- Write positive “I am’s…” - Write down 5 or 6 things (more, if you’d like) that you want to see come to fruition in your life (or that are already there). Place them on a sticky notes somewhere you’ll see them daily, like on a mirror in the bathroom, or even on the dashboard of your car. This gives your subconscious something new to work with; instead of the same ole, same message you find yourself thinking. Here are some “I am’s” examples, ”I am attracting all that is good to me today”, or “I am content”, or one of my faves… “I am living out my life on purpose.”
- Do that thing your feelings are telling you not to do - Go on that walk, take that vacation, relive that moment with your partner or spouse, start that business you’ve been putting off. Just Do It!
- Write them down - This has turned out to be one of my faves. With it, you have several options that you can practice.
- Write them down, and tear them up - Tearing that feeling up sometimes creates a release from it.
- Write them down in a journal - Revisit them when you need to reflect on how you handled those feelings on that day.
- Write them down, and turn the page on them - Letting it go, and not giving it any further space in your mind or any of your energy.
I’m certainly not saying that any of them will be easy; especially if you’re not used to the practices. I will say, that it won’t hurt to give them a try. I challenge you to give them time to work. Before you know it your feelings will understand that you are back at the helm, and more and more, you’ll be hearing yourself crying out, “Checkmate!”

Hi Deeone
Great post with some great tips. I think it is very important to start off the day on the right energetic foot. Though I am guilty sometimes of getting caught up in my head and diving right into things before I get myself straight. It really reveals my attachments that I hold with certain things. You make an excellent point about how we sometimes need to ignore our feelings and do certain things anyway as in the long run, that is the best course of action.
kelli recently posted this awesomeness..If Your Beliefs No Longer Serve You, Get New Ones!
Hello Kelli,
We’re all guilty of getting caught up from time to time. Sometimes those feelings just get the best of us. There are days when I have to pull out the full arsenal on my feelings. Reaching for anything it’ll take to snap out of my funk. What I found to be a great point you made was how it reveals to you your attachment to certain things. This is SO true for me as well. When I really think about what was causing the funk, there’s usually something or someone attached to it that caused me to adopt an attitude about it. So in essence, the best way to battle those feelings we might be having would be through figuring out what the root of it might be. Excellent point, Kelli! Thanks for sharing your truths here on this… you gave me a real Aha moment.
Deeone recently posted this awesomeness..Highway to Living
Hi Deeone,
Hmm sometimes I get up on the right side of my bed. At other times it is the left. Not sure which one is better or worse though. *Shrugs*
In life we either control our feelings or our feelings control us. Feelings, like our minds, are excellent servants but terrible masters. To live a good life, make good choices and take decisive action, we need to have a level of self-mastery and discipline.
Some situations allow us to take our time to digest what we feel. But if it were a life and death situation, there would be no place for feelings. Only survival matters. Then every choice, every action we make and take becomes brutally efficient. There would be no wasted movement or energy on our part.
I love the 5 ways that you have shared to master our bad feelings. For me, I have always focused on the solution instead of the problem whenever I am feeling down. By taking steps to eliminate the root cause of what is troubling me, I feel better naturally. If nothing can be done about the root cause, then I reframe the way I view things in a way that empowers instead of crippling me.
Thank you for sharing this lovely article!

The Vizier recently posted this awesomeness..It is Ok to Feel the Way You Do
You had me really cracking up on that first line there, Irving!
That was too funny!
I also agree with you about us being master over our feelings; if we aren’t they will certainly take the helm, running us instead. When we begin to master our thoughts and feelings, the rest of our members joins in, and in unity begin working to assist the entire body to achieve whatever we desire to achieve. It’s totally about getting to the place where we’ve self-mastered the power to control ourselves.
I too, have gotten a lot better about finding the solution, instead of wrecking my brain about the problem. We’re problem solvers by nature, but if we spend more time dwelling on the problem, our minds doesn’t compute what we’re doing, and begins to freak out; causing an elevator (up and down) of emotions to occur. It’s only when we look for solutions that our mind feel like it’s operating properly, and when that occurs I believe our emotional state is better in balance.
I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on this, Irving. You bought up some key points in dealing with our emotional state. Thanks for the contribution, mate.
Deeone recently posted this awesomeness..Life Lessons from a Woodpecker
Fabulous Post Deeone.
So many people need to hear this one. (A reminder for me today sure was in order ;P)
What I’ve found pretty fascinating is that is if you force your body to emulate feeling good (smile for example) it really diminishes the negative emotions you are feeling. You can stay mad if someone makes you laugh right? It’s so interconnected yet so widely ignored.
I love your tips. Especially the writing it down. I do this often. It helps me objectively explore why I am feeling bad and often helps me create a plan to fix whatever is the problem. It’s a wonderful when to vent out those feelings without accidently taking out feelings on someone else!
What I realized a while back is that emotions are just emotions. Fear is just a feeling, being miserable is just a feeling. No more, no less. I think you hit on something really important here. Many people are giving their emotions far more power over thier lives then these feelings deserve.
Bonnie recently posted this awesomeness..Do You Believe What You Think?
Hi Bonnie,
I’m delighted you enjoyed this. For me, it was one of those thorns in my side for sometime. I would find myself allowing my feelings to have me walking around almost in the state of a zombie. (Well, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but you get my drift.
) They did run me though. To the point where I wouldn’t understand why I was feeling a certain way, and I didn’t understand for the life of me why I couldn’t control it; there was nothing that had really been done that would have caused it, but I couldn’t help it. Or so I thought.
I begin trying these tips that I shared at the beginning of this year, and begin feeling a 100% different about those bad feelings that would occur. The writing down of those feelings did wonders for me. I have a grateful journal that I try to write in as often as possible, but these days my time has been a bit limited. It really helped me with conquering those feelings.
We certainly have control over the way we feel, we simply have to take the control back from our feelings. As Irving so well put it, “we either control our feelings or our feelings control us.” Either way, one of the two must have the control. Otherwise, we will be walking around like a zombie.
Thanks for your addition to the post, my friend. It’s always a pleasure to read you here.
Deeone recently posted this awesomeness..Highway to Living
Hi Deeone
I agree with you wrong bed side story it’s also happened with me.But I most like your 5 points that you discuss it’s very hard for me for waking up with smile because I very honestly sleep almost 2 hour in a day so it’s hard too me for getting up with smile.But my friend I try too follow your instructions and wake up with smile and planned for whole day schedule on written points format.
Rizwan Sultan recently posted this awesomeness..snow socks
Hi Rizwan,
It’s happened to many more, than not, my friend. At first, when I started trying it out, it was hard for me as well. So what I did was give myself 5 extra minutes to lay there, I would grab something in my mind that caused me to smile, I would think of nothing but it for 5 mins., and if I had to, I’d paste one on and start my day. I understand exactly what you mean. It’s hard for many people to do, because a lot of people are like you and I, and hate to get up out of a good sleep. That’s exactly why I made that one #1.
I knew it would take practice to do. So after a couple of days of trying it, hit me up and let me know who it’s working out. I’d love to hear about it, bro. 
Deeone recently posted this awesomeness..Your Life has a Purpose
Deeone,
Ha ha, man I love that picture! But is also reminds me when my kids were THAT age
Plenty of fits.
You’re right, it is nonsense. Getting past that wicked funk and back to tail wagging is often a matter of changing your perspective. (There are exceptions of course!)
That general malaise is often self-induced and putting yourself in a wicked, bad mood opens the door to dread, apprehension and indecision. It’s like self-sabotage, really.
I do think you have the power to change your outlook each day, from negative to positive. If you focus on problems you’ll find more than enough. If you focus on opportunities you’ll find those as well.
Oh and some people just love to complain, about everything! Is it really that bad, really? Really? Maybe talking to someone in Afghanistan or Sudan would change your attitude.
Love the post and great tips, esp. writing things out. Thanks, Sir.
Craig McBreen recently posted this awesomeness..Become a pro at follow-through and start turning dreams into action
Good day Craig,
Your page must been twitching, I had just pulled it up to catch up on what’s been going on with you.
Great to see you here, bud!
I usually wait until after I finish my post to grab my images, but I knew that I wanted one with a screaming kid. And yep, there’s a reason. When I would have my little moments of inner tantrums, that’s the image I would see in myself. A big cry baby. When we’re driven by our feelings, that’s exactly what we become. Whiners, complainers, and bit… well, you can figure the rest of that out.
You hit a great point with it being self-induced, because usually there really is no one else to blame, is there? A person chooses to go with an emotion that can easily be tamed by choosing not to entertain the feeling. A lot of people think they can’t fend themselves from those types of feelings though, and that’s exactly why I wanted to strike this topic.
I go through my various news feeds on the various social media platforms, and it amazes me the things that people post; and then wonder why their stuck in a rut. You just typed out how you wanted to feel all day, to get sympathy from people who could careless. Did you think you would feel otherwise.
I know that would be a bit harsh though, but I do believe that’s what a lot of people need. A reality check.
And the reality check you recommended would be a great one. A conversation with someone in third world country would do the trick… for some folks…. but like you also said, some people just love to complain. I wonder if a cookie would help to dry those tears.
Thank for stopping in man. I really enjoyed reading what you had to say on this. It’s greatly appreciated. See you over to your site soon. Cheers!

But so glad we had the talk.
And that is a perfect picture for this post.
Craig McBreen recently posted this awesomeness..Become a pro at follow-through and start turning dreams into action
Indeed, my friend. Reality checks are great tools to combat our emotional state.
I’m glad that you and your son had, what sounds to me, to be a great conversation. That’s awesome, bud!
Thanks as well about the image, Craig. My gratitude to you for the appreciation of it.
Have a grand weekend ahead, mate! Cheers!
Yes, the kid is becoming aware and that is certainly good.

Deeone recently posted this awesomeness..The Minefield of our Thoughts
First of all, I must say: your intro — LOVE it!!!
I must admit that I use that line all of the time! – especially referring to my teenagers! LOLOL But you are so right about it–it really is one of those ‘old sayings’ that make you scratch your head when someone says it!
But yes, I must admit that I am guilty of this as well. My problem is, when I’m having what seems to be a chain of bad events, I’m quick to say, “Only my life goes this way, no one else’s.” Even though I know that this is not true at all. Like you said, even the greatest people have bad days sometimes. It helps to remember that “It’s not what happens in our life, but how we respond to it” that makes all the difference in our lives and in our feelings. So when I feel those feelings creeping up, I tell myself that statement over and over, until it’s IN me, then I notice that before long my feelings are much better, and then my day is better. I love the points-of-help that you mentioned, especially having gratitude and writing your emotions out. This helps SO much! I’m a witness!
Excellent and very thought-provoking post! I love it!!
MELISASource recently posted this awesomeness..What You Can Learn from Sherri Shepherd and Her DWTS Experience
I’m glad to hear you say that about the into, Makeba. I wanted to add a little personality to it… in “real life” I’m really a funny character; always cracking jokes. When it comes to writing, I don’t always seem to get my funny side across. There are, of course, a few exceptions here and there.
Guilty huh? Welcome aboard, Chica! While I’ve gotten a lot better, I still find myself practicing these tips to the hilt.
Another thing I notice in your message that I found myself doing, was saying things like, “Only me”, or “This is just my personality.” I had to cut those out. This lesson came during a conversation I had with a friend, he ask me how I was doing, and I said, “Pretty good.” Now, I’ve been saying that most of my life, and not really thinking about what I was saying. So imagine my delight when he said, “From now on when someone ask you that, say, “Pretty good and getting better.” And so I have. The power of words, eh? I can truly say that making those little changes has given me an even tone and a more consistent attitude.
When we take back total control of what we say and think, our feelings don’t have a standing chance.
When those bad ones approach, we’ll begin to laugh at them just for trying to rain on our parade.
So glad to know this write up was of assistance to you. Thanks for sharing your releasing moments with me. YOU ROCK!!
Deeone recently posted this awesomeness..The Introduction of Daily Reflections
What a great article. I think our feelings definitely dictate to us. And most times it shows, in our work and interaction with others. Thanks for the great tips Deeone.
Hey Thanks Michelle, and Welcome!
I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the post. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. I really appreciate it.
Cheers!
You are spot on Deeone!
When you get up every morning grateful for another day and thank God for everything that you have and is yet to come, it puts you in a better frame of mind. Writing down your afformations and being more aware of what you’re feeling is huge.
Too many people have one thing go wrong after getting out of bed and they keep their minds focused on all the wrong. From there it’s just going to progress into the exact same thing so turning your thoughts around will definitely make a huge difference.
Smiling everyday and just being blessed for what you have as well as just breathing is huge! That’s how I start every single day and people ask me why I’m so happy. Why I’m so full of energy, why I’m so positive. That my friend is the key.
Love this message and thank you SO much for sharing it Deeone. It’s a message we all need to hear and remember.
Have a wonderful day my friend and be blessed.

You know what, Adrienne? I really felt that response! Your words just leaped off the screen, and I could literally hear the exuberance in your voice.
That, my friend, is exactly what this post is all about. Getting excited about the fact that we’re still here, with another opportunity to do whatever it is we want to do with our lives. I’d say that’s a reason to celebrate!
I was just scrolling through Facebook when I read that a dear friend of mine back in high school passed away this morning. We were the same age. I’m not happy about the fact that she’s gone, she was genuinely a wonderful spirit, but her loss has really allowed me to see that now is the time to truly live our lives fully.
If we build up enough of that energy through out our days here, I believe when we really need it; we’ll have enough left over to get us through the next bump.
Thank you so much for sharing that energy with me today.
I needed to feel that… and it really felt good. Cheers! 
Deeone recently posted this awesomeness..Your Life has a Purpose
Interesting post Deeone!
I never ever thought about what side of the bed I get off, though it’s always the same side, but still never thought about it earlier than now! I really don’t think that it has anything to do with our emotions or how the rest of our day will pass- guess those are mere supersitions.
You are quite right about saying that we do want everything laid out in a platter and want it instantly, without waiting nor working for the results. I guess that’s actually what happens with our emotions too, because we don’t let those true feelings come through and want the emtions to do the trick in a jiffy!
Just as I always belive and say so often, everything is in our minds and how we percieve and see things. If we are able to handle our minds and think positvely about things, they do happen and you can thus control everything that you otherwise aren’t able to. I did read that post on Anthony and it was wonderful, and so are his lines that are quite similar to the way I think.
How can we not feel though? And how can we tame our subconsius to feel for us? Don’t feelings arise from within or your heart and those are the true ‘gut’ feelings as they say – isn’t it?
I can see the wonderful snippets that are starting on your blog, which I am sure must be the wonderful result of what WROAR is doing to you- great going
Nice ways to start your day, hmmm….I am in a rush in the morning for the kids and their school – so smile I would have to start incorporating from tomorrow, though gratitude and thanks are always there. Written positive affirmations I haven’t yet tried, though oral ones always work! Yes, fight those negative thoughts and do things you want to do and yes, I do write my daily journal so that helps too!
Thanks so much for the wonderful reminder to get started on things we haven’t yet
Enjoy your weekend
Harleena Singh recently posted this awesomeness..Why are Grandparents Parenting Grandchildren?
Hi Harleena,
I’m with you, I don’t think whichever side of the bed we sleep, has anything at all, to do with our emotions. I imagine the story’s creator had a logical explanation for it though. Who knows what they must have been thinking.
Oh yes, the world is shaping to be an interesting place, in like twenty or so more years; I can only imagine what new invention will deliver our hearts desire, at a whim.
I don’t even want to go and try guessing that one. I’m sure the list of possibilities are endless.
I enjoyed reading the great questions you posed in your feedback on this, Harleena. I don’t believe we can go through life not feeling, and if we didn’t feel we couldn’t allow ourselves to get inspired, motivated, or even to feel love. It’s more about controlling those feelings that don’t benefit our journey, and perhaps are keeping us from succeeding or enjoying life. Those are the feelings that should be thrown under the first bus.
You’re absolutely on the money about the Daily Reflections portion of the website. Rob has continued to show us ways to get more of the results we want in life. Being on the show with him and Jk, has been a humbling experience, but one that I continue to be grateful for having the opportunity.
I see big things in the works for myself, and I believe it has something to do with me learning to put my feelings in check, when they need to be corrected.
Thank you for your wonderful thoughts on this, my friend. I loved the, so “smile I would have to start incorporating from tomorrow” part, that offered me one.
Blessings.

Oh my, now whenever I see a bus I will be reminded of this blog post and will have the strong desire to throw myself under it. Must. Resist. The. Urge.

Great message, as usual, Deeone! No excuses! We each have to own and recognise those bad feelings in order to let them go. Life is too short to not. And quite right.. jounaling and getting things down is a great way to stay focused and aware. It’s even great for letting go.
And gratitude, gratitude is a way of living. And I am thankful for every challenge as much as every blessing. And I am thankful for you.

Nope! The excuses are being thrown under the same bus, as those feelings. We’re no longer allowing them a place at our table.
You said it, Life is simply too short to let a single moment pass us by. When we are not being able to do that one thing that brings us our purest feeling of joy risings, because our feelings and emotions have gotten in the way; it is like a hold up robbery we pull on ourselves.

Wonderful tips Deeone. And who did come up with the ‘I got up on the wrong side of bed’…hehe. It so does not make sense, although I have used that saying before!

I’m glad you enjoyed the read, Janine.
I’ll have to Google that phrase to find out where it originated. I’m sure there is a rational explanation, as to why the idea of getting up on the wrong side of the bed was ever tied to the attitude people choose to have on a given day, in the first place. There just has to be. 
It’s so true what you said about that way of thinking being an excuse, we sometimes use. Like any excuse, we always face the choice, whether we’ll entertain it or not, right?
