Hello,
My name is Neville, male, divorced.
My children have grown up and deserted the nest. Don't worry though I wont molest anybody, my ethics prevents me doing anything that will offend others, therefore I don't invade other peoples territory. My blogs are about Christianity, animals, Pets, free Training information where possible, ancient history. I'm not a staunch Christian therefore I don't preach but, I believe in the one God our father in heaven the creator of the universe everything within it, King of Kings, Lords of Lords. I fully accept (Immanuel)Jesus Christ as My Savior, who suffered on the cross to save me from my sins, He Lives.

Trying to clean your house? Good for you -- a clean house can really affect your state of mind for the better. But don't say "Today I'm going to clean the entire house from top to bottom," when you don't have the time and energy to -- don't set yourself up for failure; don't feed the demon. Just say, "Today I'm going to wash all the dishes and clean off the kitchen counter." And do it.
Don't tell yourself, "This month I'm going to write that novel." Tell yourself, "Today I'm going to write five pages." And do it. Take your dreams and break them down into small pieces and you'll have them in your hands before you know it.
And you'll find, as you start meeting your goals, that you like it. That it feels good, makes you feel confident and capable. You'll develop a hunger for it.
* Your environment includes yourself -- your physical presence. Do what you know you need to do -- treat yourself better. Sleep, eat right, exercise. This doesn't mean you have to stop staying out late at night now and then, it doesn't mean you can't have a candy bar, it doesn't mean you have to stop sitting around watching television -- it just means start doing the things that are good for you as well as the things that are bad for you, every so often. It's not an all-or-nothing proposition; you don't have to devote your life to being a health nut. Just try eating more fruits and vegetables, the occasional vegetarian meal; go for walks in the park on the weekends. You'll feel better and be more alert if you're a little healthier, and once you start feeling a little better, you'll start wanting the things that make you feel better. You'll see.
* Your environment includes your appearance. If you're not happy with yourself, if you're angry with the person in the mirror, it can honestly help to literally change who you see when you look in the mirror. Try a different hairstyle, new glasses, new jewelry, new clothes. It doesn't have to be expensive -- there's a whole universe full of possible You's waiting to be found in thrift stores, if need be. If you're deciding to become the person you want to be, then decide what that person is going to look like. Dress the part. It's not shallow, it's not about vanity, it's about self-transformation -- even the most primitive tribes understand the value of costumes and masks for ritual, for change, for becoming someone else.
You are not an object. You are a system. Like with any system, if you change the inputs -- change what goes into it -- you'll change what comes out.
Despite everything I've just said:
Self-examination can be paralysis.
Don't "remember to breathe" -- just breathe. It's a Tao thing.
It's the paradox at the center of all this -- remember that, "Am I living up to being the person I want to be?", is not a question the person you want to be would ask.
If I can leave you with just one thought, it's this:
Stop wasting your time fretting over not being happy.
Just be happy.
