Just a couple of things... First, I know I'm a bit biased here on this point, but have you ever tried a professional massage? Some factors re: mood can be influenced by your body's state of relaxation, circulation and well-being. A decent massage session can often be of great help. Secondly, my DJ colleague, Randy Bartlett, promotes his method he calls "The 1% solution." Basically it boils down to making small improvements over time. See, the best outcomes aren't the result of scrapping something and making a wholesale change, or some huge upheaval, but of very small improvements done over days, months or years. I have done this with my DJ show and it has taken me to new heights. And, of course, you can apply this to just about everything in life. Persistence is key; just keep on moving forward. I keep lists. I have a list of everything I want to accomplish and the steps needed to get there. It's the first thing I look at when I wake up. Each day, I try to cross off at least one item. Even when I can't, I can usually find some small thing I can do to get me closer, be it a phone call, email or online post/query that will push me onward to eventually checking off something. When you stretch this out over time, it's basically a "no fail" solution. And I get to go to sleep each night knowing that there's nothing more I could've done that day. Tomorrow, then, is truly a new start! You've heard the expression, "time is money"? Well, even when I don't have the money to throw at something, I CAN take my TIME to do it! I can post. I can email. I can research. I can mobilize my friends, family and colleagues. There is ALWAYS something I can do! That YOU can do. And that has VALUE - it's like an endless debit card. Given all of that, it's all about staying positive. Change comes slowly. But change comes to those willing to work to make it happen. It's a bit like working with fascia for us massage people. You don't just go in and press the crap out of it! That will hurt like hell and, in the end, just make things worse. But use a minimum of force and apply it over time, and you can work magic! You just need to be doggedly persistent. Keep on keepin' on. Do what you can. Do all you can. And don't stop! Thanks for all you do!
