I just posted the comment below on the bipolar forum. I thought it may be very good here because one of our goals is to see that the truth about psychiatry come out. I honestly wish my doctors would have told me the solution to mental illness a long time ago. Anyone taking pills who says that they have done these simple 3 steps is lying to themselves.
1) Find out who you really are. Think about who you were and what your personality is. Dig though the layers of things you've recently done - it doesn't reflect you, just your mistakes. You may do this many times in your life as you change.
2) Ask yourself what you really want in life. Picture the best possible future you can and what kinds of things you'd be doing that is exciting and fun to you. You may wish to seach for ideas or think up something new.
3) Let yourself get what you have in mind. It will come if you let it. Just let it. Your mind will wonder and do all kinds of things to resist you, but gently bring your attention back to what you have in mind. The rest will take care of itself.
