I am going through an odd phase right now- I’m stable!
It’s odd because it’s very rare for me to be stable a few days in a row. I am very thankful. There are a few things I’ve done to help this stability show up:
Turned off the news- in all forms. I’m created my own stimulus package by changing my ways. I am doing my part to reduce our trillion gazillion deficit!
I go to bed, alone, at home very early every night so that I can read inspirational books such as the Attractor Factor by Joe Vitale and Think and Go Rich by Napoleon Hill. It’s not excatly a big party, but I wake up with energy and a clear mind.
I was finally honest with a dear friend who has become so negative and unhappy that I can no longer listen to her problems. I hope that we can work it out one day- but for now, my mind has more space to be positive.
Stability takes a lot of work and for me a lot of sacrifices- but life is good when I can work, see friends, save money and get out in the world!

You have given me support in taking the action step of telling someone I can’t listen to them.
It is encouraging to read your successes.
