The following exercise can help you begin the process of developing some resiliency and changing your life view:
Get a piece of paper and a pen. Find a quiet place and comfortable chair. Close your eyes, take a few easy breaths and begin to contemplate your goals, plans, dreams, and fantasies about your future, for next week or six months from now.
 What is meaningful in your life right now?
What are your passions?
Why are you here?
What are the gifts you have to give?
What is God's will for you to do?
and be open to all possibilities without judgement or editing with regard to career, relationships, play, health, spirituality, altruism. When you have some answers, write them down. Some of what you write may seem very important, some less so. If the important ones seem too overwhelming or impossible, break them down into smaller, achievable steps.
If six months from now you have not made some steps toward your goals, think about what is wrong in the picture. Usually we don't make chnages out of fear. More importantly, when you begin to make these things happen and your gaols for the future become your "now," notice how you feel emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Remember, "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space."
