Long term supports
Adjust NOW, whenever you are less than a 7 in state of resourcefulness/happiness/peace
Never let a low energy mood stay in place, because unless it is for rejuvenation purposes you are missing out on life, not really living!
Some how we get the idea that a state (or a mood) is something that happens to us and over which we have no power. We leave a low state in place, waiting for it to naturally, eventually go away, as if it were sacrosanct and not to be disturbed. If we have the power of discernment to pay attention to any critical signal (like being dehydrated or being in an exhausted state) then we can alter the state as it has no legitimate purpose!
The key is not to try "changing your attitude" by sheer willpower, but to simply do "doables" that are easy to initiate and perform.
