Cleo, I use this exercise sometimes. I picture how I want things to be 'someday', all sorts of aspects and details. And then I pick one small thing, and change it. This gives me a boost, so I can then tackle something a little more challenging. The more challenging stuff is more rewarding, but they don't always work out and that can be disappointing. So, I go back again, and pick something small, fix it, and keep moving on.
You are a smart lady, Cleo, and you know what you want. Make a plan, and do it! I believe in you, OK? Onward!
