Try the opposite..... Tell yourself today is really going to suck and then if it doesn't it will be the best day ever.

OK, it's today.
I woke up.
My family is still alive and safe.
I have a job.
I will work my shift.
I will go home.
It's today.

I don't have 'bad' days anymore. Yes, they're usually hectic and busy with crabby, whiny patients. But you know what? I'm just so grateful it's not me in that bed, it's not my husband with inoperable lung cancer or my mother with end stage CHF. I'm just so grateful that a 'bad' dx is not happening to me that it's always a good day for me.

I usually tell myself it's going to be another crappy day (because it usually will be), and if the day goes better than planned, then it's a nice surprise. Optimism is for the birds.
