Something else I do to pick myself up: Make a list.

I mean, a list of things to do, like in the morning—all the little shit; pay bills, buy a spritzer for the wreath, start that P&W grant for our series, call A in Los Angeles, work out, take a shower, measure the balcony for outdoor carpet, backup my files from the week.

A list of banal things to follow spares me from having to identify and then prioritize those small things, which can turn into huge obstacles, when a person is down.

It works.

I take a walk, hang out in nature, play ball with miss furry pants; these activities never fail to get me out of my head. I also think about the things for which I am grateful, that always chases away the blues.

Nature is very healing, isn't it.

I sing, paint, put on make up, cry or talk to someone...when I get it out, instant pick me up.

Going to get my nails done to distract myself ... if I can get my brain to stop working that is.
