Smurf! You're back! We've been wondering if we needed to send out an APB for you.

Sounds like a hard winter. I've found that yoga has helped rain my mind to stay focused and it is much easier to wrench it away from the negative thoughts. Any mental practice that helps you focus on the good and the "I know I can do this" will help. Periodically, I just tell my brain to shut up and let the body do what it knows how to do.
