Thanks for your tips! I use the synonyms one a lot. Oh and what you said about the enthusiastic mindset bit....I think that's got a lot to do with the ' Fight or Flight ' response. Whenever you're faced with any hurdle, your mind can go into either of two modes. Fight or Flight. To fight, is to play offense and voluntarily deal with the problem. And to Flight, is to become defensive and choose to not deal with it. When we choose Fight, we activate more constructive ways of thinking and are able to deal with stress better. It activates all the positive parts of our brain :)
