TIME: Late February
DILEMMA: The Blahs
This is just the time of year to take a look at that reoccurring problem – how do you keep the passion alive? Because it’s February you may be thinking of “romance” when I say “passion.” But I mean it in a larger sense. I’m talking about the energy that drives our lives.

It isn’t about life being perfect it’s about life BEING. Let’s take a look at that. What the woman meant was that losing 30 lbs. made her look and feel better and did a lot for her health but the baby still cried the secretary still missed the deadline the traffic still piled up she still didn’t like her mother-in-law the dishwasher still needed to be emptied and she still was unable to streamline her projects at work she way she’d like to.
So how do we recharge our batteries when they’re running low? Here are some tips.
