There are days when you feel it’s just not your day, and that everything is going wrong.  The more you try, the worse the situation becomes.

Everyone has days like that.  That’s when it’s time to stop everything, go home, and to take refuge in yourself.

Rearrange everything – your feelings, your perceptions, your emotions – they’re all scattered everywhere; it’s a mess inside.  Recognize and embrace each emotion…  Practice mindfulness and concentration, and tidy up everything within yourself. This will help you restore your calm and peace.
