One key to better use of this technique is to focus on your body and changing your movements but to then turn the focus outward, into the world around you. If you for instance want to feel happier, force a smile for about 60 seconds. Weighing my food to exact grams and calorie counting; only weighing myself in the morning, including refusal to be weighed at the doctor; assuming people were looking at me thinking I'm ugly or judging what was in my grocery cart and knowing I had an eating disorder; never eating Troubleshooting: If you don't know where to start, make a list of behaviors, thoughts, perceptions that are in the way of making positive changes and then choose one to begin changing.

There is still a lot of work to be done in changing people's attitude to living with mental illness though, especially in the workplace. If you change how you move and use your body your mood will change. Or perhaps the things that used to motivate or move you don't resonate at all. Like a well of water, creative energy replenishes itself slowly over time. It all just seems like so much more crap to deal with.
