Key musical collaborators were Jacob Brackman and Steve Winwood. Additional contributors to the recording included Sting, Nile Rodgers, Todd Rundgren, Carly Simon and Tom Bailey. The album Dancing For Mental Health produced two hit singles, "Kissing With Confidence" and "Smile". Lyrics edit: Examples of the affirmations included:, Miguel: Make it habit. Make it happen., Bruce: Where there's Will, there's a way., Ellen: The greater your problem, the greater your opportunity., Sophie: Your problem is a gift to help you change., Rosalita: Hableme el unico del mundo, digame: Como te hace ese sonido, tan glorioso, que aun hora con anticipacion de el, me ha reducio a un bestia, gruendo, entusiomandose y paliptando., Donna: Act the way you want to feel. If you want to be happy, start now..
