No clarity, no progress. Simple fundamental of life. Mindfulness and meditation can be two powerful tools for clearing mental clutter. Find peace in the now, take a moment for yourself, whatever time you get, nourish your mind, and observe your thoughts. Focus on one thing at a time. Take a walk in the park, and think about what good you can find in this damned world. Pause, breathe, and relax; think of something, anything, that might help you gain some clarity.
