I have good days, and some not so good days. Praying for detachment and giving H to God to work on helps a a lot. Then I get out of His way. (Let go.)

Forcing myself to look at positive things...kids, beautiful weather, etc.

Setting goals, in 3 areas helps me focus on myself: Mental, Spiritual, Physical

Sometimes just forcing a smile until I feel it.

Catching myself heading down a bad road mentally and envisioning a big red stop sign...took some practice, but now it's much easier.

Reaching out to help others.
