I can remember a very low period. One thing I did was to build a list of such things to do that would likely cheer me up, and adding to it, whenever I remembered something that would likely be healthy and a pleasure to do. In low periods such inspirations seem too easily forgotten, but then all the more reason to collect them, for when when you most need them.

The other thing that helped, was to try to figure what things you can do to make someone else happy, even if you can't seem to do it for yourself at that moment. I found it especially fun when you can do it secretly. Even a bit of vicarious pleasure makes the day brighter. It's a great starting point. And you can learn from watching others, how to feel comfortable and inspired with yourself.

Start by being brave enough to display youir support publicly. It's not like we don't have the power. It's that we are not trying anything at all.

".profile - This file is loaded for each new logon session. In order to get it to reload fully, you need to logout and back in."

Just use the dot command in the shell, like if still in your home directory ". .profile" Or if in root, ". ./.profile"

There is no need to log out and in again.
