I have a new plan when I wake up in the morning.
I often wake up depressed, so these days I say to myself:
What do I want to accomplish today? (Work on my book proposal)
What do I need to do to reach that goal? (Go to the library and work on it!)
What is my financial goal today? (To use cash only and not eat out for lunch)
Why am I doing all of this? (Because 2009 is my year to improve my health and wealth!)
This really gives me a perspective on the day and most importantly- I see that the reason I need to work hard today is so I can have the life I want in the coming years. This helps the depression a lot!
