Continue to practice meditation daily each morning and each evening and set intentions for your day, such as, “Today and every day I am in the moment, I smile with gratitude, radiate love, and expect a beautiful day.” In the evening contemplate the day and given thanks. Be grateful even for the smallest things. Learn how to work your (dorky) quirk. Hello, I’m a glasses nerd. I’ve worn glasses since I was 4. I’ve done the whole history of dorky glasses. Oooooh, yes: horn-rims, over-sized flastic fantastics and….an eye patch. When I tell this story, I found most people struggle to top it: when I was 12 I had to wear an eye patch for a 18 months. Not a cool pirate one; a piece of beige tape over the left lens of my horn-rimmed frames. It gave me a particularly BROWN and befuddled look. Which puts me in a most authoratative been-there-done-that position to advise on embracing an awkward aesthetic fixture. Yours might be a bald head. The thing is: I could get corrective surgery.

Tell me what you think… And what other small techniques you use to get into a writing mood…
Don't Be Jealous (No. Really. Don't.) This fantastic guest post comes to us from my fellow Virgo Lady Smaggle. If you love her advice on this topic, you'll love everything on offer over at her blog. Go say hi! The green eyed monster comes to visit us all once in a while. My current obsession is with Mia Wasikowska who was plucked straight from the Canberra theater stages and delivered into the loving arms of Tim Burton. I want to bury myself in a big black pit of jealous screaming ‘SHE’S SO LUCK-EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!’ But calm down just a minute there Miss Smaggle.
When was the last time you ran into a friend who was half the size she was then when you last saw her? What about that friend from high school that has been interning pro-bono at a fashion magazine while struggling to make ends meet at her part- time job only to be rewarded with an assistant editors position? Or that friend who just bought her first house? It’s not that you’re bitter that they’ve achieved amazing things. It’s time to be honest with yourself.
