:60 Second Blues Busters: Quick Pick-Me-Up Remedies

It's amazing how many different,simple,yet effective ways this great book offers for combating those "blahs" we all get at times. Not only were there descriptions of little exercises to do which really can change your thinking from negative to positive, but I was surprised, and very pleased, to learn that a few of them are things I already do. For example,I live alone, yet I make my bed every morning. It just makes me feel better. Well,yes, one chapter says, that simple task usually makes anyone feel better! In stopping to think about this, the reassurance was almost as gratifying as all those great new suggestions of things I've never done, or even thought about! I know where to look now, whenever I feel blue.

Although "Bluesbusters" might seem to target women, I found a lot of great stuff in it. It's actually FUN to read...who wants to wade through a tome when you're down in the dumps? The chapters are short and upbeat. I'd call it an "emotional first-aid kit," and think it would be good for everyone to have. Even if you're not in a funk, it's packed with feel-good activities. I did a search, found out it has a web site (bluesbustersbook.com), where you can see the table of contents. Definitely worth the money.

This book is full of great and easy ideas to stop a bad mood in it's tracks. I know from experience that when my "blue" moods hit I can't seem to think of anything positive or uplifting. I usually just wait out the discomfort wasting hours and often days of my life. This book offers a way to break the ugly cycle. Just pick it up and flip to a chapter that speaks to you. It is full of information and practical ideas that can turn my day and attitude around.
