Keep yourself distracted today so you don’t have to deal with unpleasant thoughts or unpleasant people. This might not be an acceptable solution for the long term, but for right now it’s perfectly fine to stick your fingers in your ears and sing ‘I can’t hear you’ when you’re faced with realities you don’t want to deal with. It’s not about procrastination — you know you have to deal with important things as soon as possible. But feel free to ignore annoyances.

Find a pickup soccer game or a local hiking club now, and you could get a lot more than a good workout out of it! Not an athletic type? Try a dance class or the swimming lessons you’ve meant to take for years.

You’re going to be surprised today by the extra helping of romance you receive at dinner. And you thought their rosemary potatoes were the best thing you ever tasted!

If you misplaced your wallet, you wouldn’t throw your hands in the air and sob, would you? You’d probably start retracing your steps. That’s what you need to do, on a much larger scale. Be methodical.
