Maybe the quickest and most effective way to change how you think or feel is to take an action. I've stayed pretty busy over the last couple of days. It seems to trigger different feelings and perspectives. Staying busy is much better than sitting around the house waiting for your atttitude to change. "What you focus on expands."
Your spot on there antlers. Astimegoeson, you'll find those other things your focusing on come natural. You don't have to create the 'busy work' in order to dull the reality of your situation. I think that's the principal behind the 'fake it till you make it' advice.
I do better if I stay busy. I did lots of yardwork over the last 3 days, and it looks good! Vincas, zinnias, petunias, and cypress mulch have made my flower beds look better than they ever have! And my kids enjoyed playing outside from the time they got up until after dark every day.
I'll welcome it when it comes naturally.
The reality of the situation SUCKS big time! Anything thats good for me, that helps me get better and stronger, I'm all for it.
Incidentally, I saw on another thread where 25 said..."We are all what we say and do." I thought it was insightful and dead on!
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
