Think of where you would really like to be right now and then write about it for five full minutes. Just random thoughts, even if they aren't full sentences, about where and why and with whom - the place you desire to be.
If you are not there right now then make a plan for how to get there either in real life or vicariously through a book or a program or a movie or whatever means lets your imagination free you from where you are now.
I did it and surprisingly discovered I live there! I know it isn't always perfect and there will be times I want to be somewhere else but for today - spring is coming, the family is healthy, the sun is going to be making an appearance some time this week and I am doing what I love - writing the greatest romance novel ever! Okay, so maybe not the greatest ever but it is totally entertaining me. My goal? Get it finished and then share it. Even if only one other person reads it and enjoys it I will be happy. I'll set higher goals for the next one, but for now - life is good!
Now, go out there and find your happy place!
