Learn to move your mind from unproductive mindsets and attitudes to constructive ones. If you drove into a neighborhood with run down houses and un-kept yards, you could drive to another one. In fact you could drive to the nicest neighborhood in town. You could get out and take a long walk. I’ve actually done this.

Then take charge with one of the strategies suggested in the posts listed over the next few days.
