T2, I don't usually cotton (you like that? trying to learn southern too.) to the how self help BS of envision a million dollars and you'll get it...But I do believe the mental attitude you have affects your day and those around you.
So this whole dark cloud stuff...you know its ok to be in a funk for a few days...I mean without bad days we wouldn't have the Blues, Smoke Lighting and Howling Wolf Jack. But those guys also did something with their pain and moodiness.
It is ok to feel the deep blue funk, its not ok to feed it and let it take over. Not unless your play night clubs every night. : )
Change your attitude change the perception.
