When you are feeling down, discouraged, like procrastinating, etc., where do you get your pick me up? Family, friends, mentor, etc?

Depends on what I'm down about - I have a folder full of emails that have spoken to me from time to time - different prayers or words of encouragement that have definitely helped me out from time to time.
I can also guarantee a smile when I put on certain gospel cd's that I have. After I finish praising for what I already have it makes it hard to NOT be thankful and remember to ask/look for guidance for moving forward.
My church sells tapes of my pastor's sermons - whenever I'm particularly moved I buy the sermon of the day so in future when things are a little off I can (have) popped in one of the tapes for a reminder.
Lastly just wanted to add - I've found that while I'm usually on it sometimes procrastination is a sign that you are heading in the wrong direction. Sit still - evaluate the situation as an outsider and pray on it - if you are going in the right direction HE will send you new inspiration that will make it easier for you to continue. But you have to be open to recognize if HE sends you a sign that tells you to turn back and start again.
I hope this helps some.
