1. Find things more enjoyable. Act as if under a dopamine-response loop. Convince yourself that you are enjoying whatever it is you're doing. Become more accepting of the situation you find yourself in. Don't try to dance. Don't resist dancing. Do what is happening, and enjoy it as it comes.
2. Don't sweat other people's judgment. You can analyze it and integrate it later. Let it roll off you emotionally. Deal with the *now* aspects of criticism and save the rest for quiet nightly contemplation. Don't hold on to it!
3. Take wholehearted chances. Don't just make a salad; make the whole meal with place-mats and dinner music. Don't learn a new hobby; find a second profession. Bet the farm. Marry the girl. Go overboard in your passions and the ones you want to have. Behave passionately and you will become passionate.
4. Plan more. Don't just jump off the cliff! Wear a parachute and train the jumps. Learn how to pack your chute. Know all the steps before you jump, but commit to the jump.
5. Ok, but be spontaneous. With 1, you must roll with the current situation; nothing goes perfectly according to plan. Be adaptable, flexible, and tolerant. (Patience!)
