		<description>I&#039;ve also found a good hard sprint up a hill to be very effective at banishing the blues. Gets the blood pumping and blows away the cobwebs. I&#039;m also a big fan of cycling but need to put in a lot of miles to get the same effect.

		<description>Awesome list you have here Tess!  

I have used several of the things you list here.  One of my favorites has always been to go out into nature, preferably some woods with a trail or something. That never fails to calm me to the core and also serves to shift my perspective.

Thanks Tess

		<description>Hi Tess,
What a wonderful list!  All of them are such great ways to lighten up.  In fact, right now I&#039;m doing one of them - listening to some soothing music - and it&#039;s one that has been really resonating with me recently.  The right music really brings an extra level of calm - and that&#039;s a place I really do enjoy spending time in.  Meditation - that&#039;s one I really want to focus more on, and see where it takes me.  Tess, thank you for this list - there&#039;s so much here, and it&#039;s all such good stuff!

		<description>Hey Tess! This is a great list. I&#039;ve had a few friends tell me of their troubles and I just harp on meditation, forgetting that not everyone likes the same stuff I do. I&#039;ll refer them on to this article!

		<description>Wow Tess, what a brilliant list and all truly effective tips!  I [try to] practice most of them so it&#039;s hard to pick one out that I would say is most effective - they all work.  But the one I use EVERY time I recognise I need a shift is a mantra pretty much like yours: &quot;All is well - no matter what it looks like.  It&#039;s all happening perfectly.&quot;

Thanks for this.  My Game of Life ezine for May will be a round-up of posts on thriving during difficult times and this is a perfect resource.  I&#039;m thrilled :-)

		<description>Patricia,
Viva la Posibility! I love that!

Liara,
Nothing is wrong unless you decide it is. Well that little gem is going in my journal!

Miz! 
That&#039;s a compliment coming from you!

Barbara,
Yes it does. Thanks for stopping by.

Hillary,
The time you have with your mom is such a blessing even though it&#039;s challenging. What a daughter to have! I love the &quot;improving your self for your future 1 hour a day.&quot;
I just got some CDs out of the library to brush up on my Spanish!

Robin,
Not comparing has given me such freedom and I love water even though there isn&#039;t much in the dessert.

Frances,
Thanks I worked hard on coming up with original stuff. I surprised even myself with this list. I&#039;m glad you stopped by.

		<description>Oh, wow! This is an amazing list and exactly what I&#039;ve been needing!  It&#039;s easy to remember 3 or 4 things you have listed, but keeping so many of them together is going to prove really helpful. Thank you so much!
