I also noticed the tension between 5 and 6. I think Clod is wise on this - there are differences between the two.

Faking it works. If you are down, FORCE yourself to hold your face in a big silly grin for 30 seconds. This does cause the release of neurochemicals, esp seratonin, that are associated with feeling good. Seriously.
Do the grin in private, though.

Number seven is something that I have been very slowly learning. Don't wait for the perfect thing, get something that WILL DO. Otherwise you'll be waiting for ever, and have nothing.
