We all have good days and bad days, but sometimes those bad days can take hold and turn into a bad month, year or more! When we fall into a hole it can be hard work to get out, and sometimes we need a little help from our friends to do so. We all react differently to our circumstances, but some of us are able to keep our head up above water better than others. I have personally learned some tricks that work for me, such as music, exercise, and meditation.. and of course Steem!

So this week's question is a time for us all to share and learn from each other, to try out some new tricks that can help us keep our heads above water,. and break old patterns that may not be serving us. I would like you to share anything that you know that works, whether it be something simple like a daily plan or routine, or making time to hang with the cats.. Maybe you have a more complicated system to help you manage your mental health, if so I'd love to hear about it!

I think its safe to say that 2018 is behind us now, but we still have to meet the new challenges of 2019 and overcome them. I have personally created so many new patterns this year, and so far I can really say they are helping a lot. However, old patterns have a way of coming back, an even if we have gotten out of a hole, I know from personal experience how easy it can be to slip back in, either in one quick drop, or a gradual descent back into our old unhealthy patterns.

SO CHIN UP, LETS BE INSPIRED TO BE STRONG, BE OPEN, AND LET'S SHARE!

The @ecoTrain asked" Do you believe in magic? Have you ever seen real magic, or what some people might call a miracle. . or is magic just a trick of the mind?.. and You answered! Thanks to all of you that took part, I wasn't quite sure what to expect when i asked this question. It was really a joy to read all the answers.. and SO many of them focused on such beautiful examples of magic.. not just the crazy type that you don't even know how to explain it, but also the most amazing magical things in our lives... such as the great miracle of creating life and having children, or the wondrous magic of nature!
