You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find, yes, you will
That you’re beautiful as you feel.
— “Beautiful” by Carole King
As cheesy as it may be, whenever I’m in a bad mood I play this song by Carole King and I feel better. Maybe it reminds me of my mom singing to it when I was little or maybe I just like the words. Either way, I thought I’d share it with you. Just a few words to make Monday a bit more bearable.
Do have a bad day mantra?

What lovely lyrics! I relate to the power of a song to make you feel better instantly- mine is Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. Hope your Monday goes well!
My bad day mantra is 'there's something that goes good with vodka in the fridge, I bet'
Yours is much better, clearly.
Great lyrics. Bad day mantra? Mine usually is "it could be worse".
I just discovered your blog on teenfashionista and I love your style! And I love to find more fashion bloggers in Texas. I'm going to Tech right now and it's great to be inspired not to look like a bum. Haha.
And my bad day mantra are probably Miranda Lambert songs. Does that make me more Texan?
Hannah — thanks for the kind words! That's great you go to Tech — I grew up in Lubbock. Small world, right??
i got "tapestry" and a guitar for christmas when i was 14! carol king is so special to me.
I don't actually have a Bad Day mantra, but I have a Getting Published Theme Song. Does that count?
It's "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" by Diana Ross and the Supremes.
