Hi there… Only just seen this…
One ‘trick’ I use, if there really is one, is to actually ‘crowd out’ the less wanted stuff in my mind, with joyful, happy stuff. There is a proverb… ‘If you turn to face towards the sun, your shadows will always be behind you…’
The ‘sun’ being a metaphor for bright, cheerful, positive things. A sort of ‘upness’.
Cos anything negative will drag us down, depress us, demoralise, discourage, devalue anything we attempt to do.
Is it possible to be positive all of the time? Most probably not, But, A lot of the time? Well… Yes!
But for most people these days, ‘cheerfulness’ isn’t their default setting… But cheerfulness can be self-perpetuating. Even ‘Normal’ ?
It’s not easy is it? But let’s go ‘towards the light…’
