Mind- Is your attitude confident and positive? Do you have any unresolved issues that are sapping strength from your ability to think clearly. Do you sleep well? Don’t be shy about getting help. Consider counseling. Your health care plan may provide coverage. If not, seek out a trusted friend.

Read motivational books. Start every day with an encouraging thought. Need a quick boost right now? Check this out.
