I like to meditate on exactly what's giving me pause. Not just thinking about what's wrong, but just holding the idea in your mind, alone, without jumping to another thought. It gives me a chance to think about the root issue rather than spend my time circling around distracting, spiraling thoughts.

I used to do a lot more tarot readings and related journaling, which helped me a lot too. A Celtic Cross with Biddy Tarot interpretations is a good one.

Then there's the perspective of finding what you really want to do and taking a step, no matter how small, in that direction. The first step is an anchor that makes each subsequent one easier, but is the hardest one to set down.
