I have a Project. It is complex and will take years. It is probably the most challenging thing I have ever attempted, eclipsing such trivial feats as getting into MIT, flying an aircraft, or successfully becoming a veterinarian when I used to faint at the sight of needles.
That said, it is hauntingly simple to articulate.
Be happy.
So far I've got a five pronged approach.
1) Habits of thinking (e.g. consciously focus on positive stuff)
2) Rescue tactics (what to do when things are severe, e.g. phone a friend)
3) Natural tweaks (e.g. sunlight, exercise)
4) Social network (spend time with people who promote this instead of tearing it down - this one is painful, as most Bay Area tech and tech-adjacent people don't qualify)
5) Observe and learn from patterns (e.g. do I always get into a tailspin around certain topics? If so, why? Proceed to step 1 with these if possible)
Every so often I may post status updates on this.
