So, you’re not at your best. You don’t feel great. There’s something getting you down.
Focusing deeper and deeper on how you are, isn’t likely to help you feel better.
By changing the first word, in that 3 word sentence, we open up a different blend of potential answers.

Is it worth a try?
Yes.
For relatively little effort, you could find yourself in a much better place.
