Here are some tips on how to do it: Be Honest with yourself about your feelings. You might be able to BS others, but you can't BS yourself. Check in with your support system. Don't wait for them to call you. You can reach out. If they care about you they will take the time.  Create time for reflection. Dig deep and find out who you are and what your purpose and why are. Start Journaling. There is something powerful about the written word - Your written words! Practice Mindfulness. This helps tremendously. You can meditate, practice breathing techniques. We have so many options available to us today. It might be difficult at first but you will get better.  Go out and conquer your day - Until next time. www.cjevolution.com Patrick
