How can I steer the conversation away from my bad day when asked "How are you?"

When asked "How are you?" during a bad day, it can be challenging to steer the conversation away from your current state. However, a few techniques can help you shift the focus and redirect the conversation. Firstly, acknowledge their question and express appreciation for their concern. Then, swiftly transition to a more positive or neutral topic, such as discussing an upcoming event, asking about their day, or mentioning an exciting project you're working on. By diverting the conversation to more positive subjects, you actively avoid dwelling on the negativity while maintaining an engaging interaction with the other person.
