I write in a journal daily. I write poetry. In the future I may publish a collection of my poetry. I'm also a photographer creating mostly black and white landscape photographs. Right now I am spending more time on my photography which can be seen and purchased here: www.jameskpapp.com .

I take a break and get outside in Nature to deal with writer's block. I love to go for a walk or hike. I am also a photographer creating mostly black and white landscape photographs. I get great creative satisfaction from seeking out and patiently waiting for a scene in the forest or mountains or in a park to reveal itself as a good subject for a photograph.

I keep a journal and have since I was a child. I write in my journal daily. Many things inspire me to write...a dream that seems to have a message for me, being in Nature, a challenge I am pondering and trying to work through, other authors books and writings, and more. I like to write prose and poetry.

Yes, it is. It does take some consistent work using some of the time-tested practices I share in Inquire Within. Calming practices like tai chi, qigong or yoga, getting outside in Nature, being creative with art or a hobby, and going on a "low information diet" by turning off the news and putting down the smart phone can all help make you feel more relaxed and happier. Quantum physics and neuroscience studies show that saying positive affirmations and changing to more positive language as well as practices like being grateful can all help make you happier.
Sometimes when we are struggling and very depressed or unhappy, we can't quite imagine getting all the way to happy and joyous. Sometimes just getting to "neutral" is more realistic and a worthwhile accomplishment.
This said, if you do feel severely unhappy or depressed or are contemplating suicide, please connect with a health care professional for care.
Thanks for your question. Take care.
