“Extract Your Uniqueness”
“When you life gets to be overwhelming, when you feel like too much of the world is depressing, there are two things you can do: One, sit in your house and feel the doom and gloom and continue to watch the news, shaking your head in resignation and saying to yourself, ‘Oh no, my life sucks. The world is ending, there’s nothing I can do.’ This is one way to go. I personally, wouldn’t recommend it.
‘Well,’ you say, ‘what’s the other option?’
Here it is: If you must watch the news, turn the sound off and imagine the news anchor people are telling you all about your day. Make up happy events, adding your name into the report every third or fourth sentence.
Sing aloud with wild abandonment as you get dressed in the morning (any cheery song will do).
And most important, get yourself some daily affirmations.” (Ellen DeGeneres)
