If I'm experiencing some thing(s) that I'd prefer not to experience, it is the result, whether delayed or fairly immediate, of what I've been in the habit of thinking, which directly informs how I feel.
So the onus is on me to think differently, to think about something different, and to think in a different way. If I want to get something different (i.e., more to my liking and wanting), I must some way, somehow, stimulate different feelings in me, feelings that are more of a match to what I want. I must, in every moment, and from moment to moment, find something to genuinely feel good about.
Hmmm.
It's sort of an expansion of the idea (and of my sporadic intention) of looking for whatever good there is in the presence of each situation or condition, and of focusing on that element or feature that makes me feel good, for which I feel thanks, and for which I am in joy.
And the better I feel--the more thankful I feel, the more I am in joy--and the more consistently I am able to maintain that better feeling, the better my getting gets!
