My advice covers some very easy things and some that might be difficult.

You wear your disappointments on your face — unless you decide to let all that junk go. I know it’s not easy. But it takes practice to control your mind.

2-Gratitude. After releasing #1, begin a practice of gratitude. Every day mentally or physically, list all the things in your life that you love and feel grateful. Here’s a small sampling of my list: I’m so grateful that a series of things I did plus Divine Intervention fixed my broken heart.
