I must admit, generally am a very happy person, but when life puts more demands on me then usual I get a little down.  This week life threw at me more then I really wanted to handle, annual inspections and other deadlines I should have been on top of.  I bought this book a few days ago to see if it would help elevate my mood...I was surprised at just doing a couple of the suggested techniques for just a couple of minutes worked.The techniques I used at first was to get out of my office and walk...not far just down the block and smile at everyone...simple right, well the smiles I received in return really made me notice my blues had left.  I went back to my office and started back on my piles of paperwork in much better spirits!  My reports were more positive an the inspectors really took notice.A few days later after the inspection getting caught up and meeting other deadlines, I was feeling a little down and uncertain...not used to being caught up on work projects till the last possible hour I was feeling like the bottom was going to drop out.  I left for home uncertain and anxious.  I was in my car and I decided to turn up the tunes...I was singing in my car ( good thing the windows were closed because I cannot sing or hold a note even in a bucket).  I went home in good spirits, really feeling I did do my best and everything would be fine.This book is packed full of ideas; those were just the couple I used recently.  I'm looking forward to implementing more of the tips in the future, if and when needed!  I truly recommend this book to anyone, that is a little down or for the folks that have been diagnosed with depression, to try these techniques it can't hurt and it really did help me.
