I also suggest that you purposely surround yourself with good things, as much as possible. Good music, good books, good food, good fun, good folks, etc. Avoid as much negativity as possible. I have always believed that we women need connection with other women. We need good female friends. However, it needs to be with those who have positive energy.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
