Games you must pay with yourself

I'm very fortunate to have good control over my thoughts and emotions in times of trouble.  Sometimes,  but not always its a matter of attitude. Other times,  it's distraction of your own thought processes-still others its very direction sensitive.  For example, if your thoughts are in a direction that you don't want them to be in and you're doing one thing, turning the corner and changing your activities to something else often times does the trick of changing your brain chemistry for the better.  It's not a question of will power, but more of a game you have to play with yourself to relieve whatever rut you're stuck in.
