better when I accepted that statement and changed my thinking. Now I am well.
If you are sick do not let others know.
Change can happen for you, but you have to do it. Just set it in your mind I am going to change. Use your will power.  Change is not some romantic ideal - just start doing it..
For example - pretend that you are a pianist. You've played your first note. It sounds good. you like to hear that note. It's so good that you play it again. You start to play that note over and over again. You are afraid that if you play that next note that you won't like it, so you don't change. You get stuck in the rut of playing that same note over and over. Ridiculous right? To be a pianist you have to change your finger position to play that next note. Well to be a person you have to change and move on to your next task. Do not get stuck in that rut.
There are PRACTICAL things you can do to help you change.
If you are hopeless at initiating an internal change, then create an external motivator. Buy something that you always wanted but for whatever reason never bought.  But don't use or touch it. Wrap it away somewhere. Then say to yourself, if I do ... whatever I want to do to change then after the first week I can look at the box. After the second week I can open the box. The third week I can read the instructions. On the fourth week I can touch it. After two months I can actually use it. Whatever schedule you want, but you have to establish whatever change you are trying to do as a new habit  before you can actually use it.
Make a calendar. Start writing down future days to do activities, keep to your schedule, then gradually make bigger steps.
Throw things away. I had a hard time throwing out my school things - I didn't realize how much energy I had put there until they were gone. All the stuff that you have has some of your energy - getting rid of it gives you room for future energy.
Eat different foods - try a veggie diet or vegan - or trying eating meat if vegan. Just to see the change it does to you.  FAST once a week
Alter you sleep patterns - get up at different times during the week - or go to bed at different times. Take naps!!
Use your physical awareness to change your thoughts - listen differently - look at things from different angles - smell!!! Touch and taste. If you increase the input you get a better output. Be present.  e.g. If you are always looking into the past (Walk backwards - do not see where you are going) If you are always looking into the future - you do not see what is right in front of you. Use little stars to remind you to be aware. When you see one do the awareness thing.
Exercise. Make a commitment of one leg bend a day - increase gradually. Write on your calendar to reinforce it.
Spend more time outdoors. See forests!
Use your will power - practice it - if goal is to be happy, then when an unhappy thought comes to you just say stop - be strong and do not let unhappy things into your life.
