for me, it's a lot easier to be positive about things when:

* i've exercised/broken a sweat recently
* i'm well rested
* i'm eating nutritionally dense foods much more than crap

if those 3 items are in place, then i can handle almost anything. for me, this is square one, and i have to remind myself to not let myself get too tired, lazy, or full of grubby food, or else i'll have a hard time being positive about anything.
