We’ll be singing when we’re winning

Tough day?

You’re not alone. For pretty much everyone in the world, each tick of the clock brings out something new, grim and scary from the great big Barney bag of economic death: giant menacing bills, wraithlike sales, blood-red ink, poisonous layoffs, magic disappearing credit lines, shriveled hopes.

We need some cheering up. Time to mess with our brain chemicals.

First, read this: Don’t panic. It applies to everyone, not just business people.

Second, read this: Support for creativity. It bodes well for everyone, not just artists. (And it made me smile a lot because Geniocity had this news about the Americans for the Arts recommendations before the Times.) 

And third: Click on this play button and turn it up really really loud. Move around. Sing. Endorphins are good for everyone.

And so is irony. So don’t just keep getting up. That’s for suckers. Change things so you don’t get knocked down again.

We’ve already changed who’s in charge, haven’t we?

Now – don’t you feel better?
