When we begin to take our failures non-seriously, it means we are ceasing to be afraid of them. It is immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves…Katherine Mansfield
What no longer makes you feel fear and can now bring you a smile?

It’s been a rough morning… one of those mornings where all you want to do is climb back into bed, turn on some mindless television, and forget you are alive.
But I’m writing instead.
I’ve been off from my day job for the past couple of days, and I feel like I’ve gotten nothing done (which isn’t true). My head is telling me that I should’ve done more (which isn’t true).
I actually got quite a bit done. But sometimes, especially for those of us who tend toward depression, our brains see ourselves as F students, no matter just how much grade A work we’ve done.
So I needed to change the way I was thinking.
I have tons of resources to do this. But sometimes it’s good to get a fresh perspective. So I did a Google search on “how to change your state quickly”.
The top result was this article: Change your state of mind quickly and reliably
In it, the author talks about the basics: positive affirmations, changing your physiology, and self-motivators. All things that I already knew, but wasn’t doing.
So I did them. I started repeating to myself “I can feel better. I can feel better.”
I forced a smile on my face.
I got off of my butt and did some stuff around the house.
I drank some orange juice, and chewed on a vitamin.
And I’m doing some writing.
Life is good. And today is going to be great!

If my blog posts are a few days late, it is because I’ve been a little pre-occupied.
The last couple of days I’ve been creating the monthly Triggers ezine for 1 April, a page of favorite links for my website and a page for my articles, also for the Forward Steps website.
Enjoy all those wonderful new resources. I’ll have a book to offer you soon also. Working on that in the background.
