INTRODUCTION

I am the world's most unlikely person to write a self-help book, but here goes! What started this book is the result of a quest.  The quest started the moment I stopped to ask, Why am I feeling crappy today? I was always busy, rushing around and accomplishing a lot, yet I felt crappy. When I thought of how I was feeling, I would blame something outside of myself. I would blame the economy, Washington DC, fast food, shopping, my job, or my family; anything or anyone except me.

I rarely felt better than crappy, no matter how much  I pretended feeling good. Accepting that I felt crappy almost every day for twenty-five years was the first AHA!

I was often frustrated, anxious, stressed, or generally pissed off at someone or something, each day. No wonder I felt crappy! When did this happen to me? I remember being a happy kid, then a happy young adult. What happened? Does this sound familiar? If so, keep reading!

I had a family, a job, and fun things to do, yet the moments of feeling good were few and far between. Why do I feel crappy most of the time? I started to think about it and how I was feeling at any given moment. It's amazing what our minds will tell us when we pay attention.

Most of us would like to retire at 30 but don’t know what we would be doing after the first 6 months. Finding work that adds to feeling good is a worthy task. At least work that engages your brain most of the day.

I sounded whiny even to myself.  What did I have to whine about?

I have a family, with husband, grown drug-free kids (I think), and a career. I've got it all, don't I? So, what's was wrong with me? This is a good life, right?

Warning—asking these kinds of questions may cause a big upheaval in your life. It did in mine, sending me on a quest to find how to feel good.

The question: Why do I feel crappy? Started it all!

It turned out I could not answer that question, so to skip all the therapy, study, and cost, I set out to feel good. In this quest, I found some simple tools that I could and do use every day.  This
