On keeping going.

I've recently found that taking smalls bites makes (my) life much more palatable. Easily overwhelmed, I can talk myself into a funk anyday.

How do I avoid it? Well, I'm trying to stick to the present. Why, when my life is going better than ever-- it's rich and full of promise-- do I spend innumerable amounts of energy on what my next career might be? I haven't even tackled this one!

My current method at self-restraint is a mental command to "snap out of it." It reminds me of a quitting smoker snapping a rubberband on her wrist each time she craves a cigarette. Better yet, perhaps that old trick wouldn't be out of order. "Snap!" Just to remind me that I've got it pretty damn good.
