Dear Haikusue:
This year I made the resolution to be more 'positive' in my outlook. I want to teach myself to look at things in a better light so that I am not always obsessing over all the things that are wrong, and all the ways the world is unfair. Sounds simple, right? Well it hasn't been. It's only been a few days since I made this resolution and already I am faltering. No matter what I do I feel frustrated by work, irritated with friends, and generally pessimistic that anything can be changed. How do I get out of my slump and get back to my resolution?
Signed,
Negative Nancy in the Mission
Dear Nancy:
Too broad of a goal
Make changes one at a time
Each success buoys
