The "Bad Mood" Lifestyle
11 Ways to Turn Yours Around and Create a Powerful New Reality
7. Stop the Head Trips.
You're on a Head Trip when you mentally replay the same scenario and what-ifs over and over in your mind. It wears you down and creates anticipatory fatigue about something that will probably never happen. The more energy you expend on this type of mental exhaustion, the more it grows. Here are several ways to curtail them: - Identify your triggers. Knowing the issues that set off a Head Trip – aging, appearance, money, sex, career – can help you short-circuit them.
- Manage the angst. When you Head Trip, your body kicks in with symptoms of stress. You may find it helpful to walk, run, swim or dance to move this energy from your head and into your body and out.
- Get a reality check. Ask yourself, "Do I have my facts right?"
- Get out of your head and into action. You probably know the next step you need to take, and the Head Trip is actually about the steps after that.
8. Unhappy starts to stressful days can be turned around.
Remember, you are responsible for the life you create. When you find yourself in a chaotic situation, realize that 
you created it. And if you create chaos, you can also create calm. When you find yourself in a "hurricane," stop the mental jabber and halt the Head Trips. Make your intention crystal clear. Then, review the challenges you're facing and make deliberate (high-energy) choices. 9. Recognize the danger of Comfort Zones.
A Comfort Zone is the place you go to because you know how to be in it. It is a life blueprint that you follow unconsciously. Without realizing it, you make choices that keep you in the familiar. And even though te familiar may not be the healthiest place to be, it's where you know how to behave. "Often your friends and family and co-workers will recognize it before you do because they're not as emotionally invested," says Anderson, who notes that her own Comfort Zone is chaos. "Until you become conscious of the process, you'll always pick the known over the unknown. Please understand, a Comfort Zone is neither good nor bad. You just need to notice when it has stopped serving you."
