This 5-Word Question Will Shift Your Whole Day

Five words to flip your whole day. Try them before your coffee. In this episode of Bad Day Excellence, Brian shares the 5-word clarity habit that rescued his chaotic mornings: “What’s my one win today?” You’ll hear how identifying emotional triggers, swapping doom-scrolling for tiny wins, and setting clean boundaries at work can restore focus, protect family time, and rebuild momentum. We’ll cover pitfalls (choosing a project instead of a win, picking five wins, hiding your win in the inbox), a noon gut-check ritual, and a respectful script for when your boss hijacks your day: “If A must be done today, that pushes B to next week. Is that ok with you?”

Try the challenge: put a sticky note where your morning starts with the question “What’s my one win today?” and celebrate the tiny wins. Ratings, reviews, and shares help more people turn bad days into breakthroughs.
