Right now, my energy level (which I picture as one of those super cool power balls we had in the playground – my one’s red) has bounced so high… that I imagine it’s shot up way above my roof… I can’t even see it now. It’s shot up so fast, and suddenly.

Yet only half an hour ago, my imaginary ball lay unwashed and unloved, in a muddy puddle. Oh the drag of a rainy, cold winter afternoon.

However…Something bought my mind back to the present moment. I was feeling despondent and then my friend told me that my news page on my website is now live. How exciting! Especially as I’d been having a pretty rubbish week!

Now more people may wish to spread the word of how to deal with happiness and sadness simultaneously. But that is not all. My hope is that we can all join forces and help one another talk about and live with our feelings.

Next time you are feeling bored or depressed, ask yourself – what little thing can help give you energy? Try to do and look for ideas that give you a lift. It could be that you call a friend, or do something for yourself to give you a boost. Little bursts of energy that keep us going, one day at a time.
