let the positive rule

There are four steps for strengthening positive experiences:

1.) ACTIVELY LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO FEEL POSITIVE.

Look for good things about yourself, or relieve the kindness and respect of others.

2.) SAVOR THE FEELINGS.

Make them last.

Feel them in your body as a warmth that fills your whole chest.

3.) SENSE THE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES

Sense the positive experiences soaking and sinking into your brain and body, registering deeply in your emotional memory. Imagine them in a treasure chest in you heart.

4.) FEEL THE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES

Feel the positive experiences moving down into old hollows and wounds within you, filling them up. Like current feelings of being cared about and loved replacing old feelings of rejection, abondonment, loneliness. Or a current sense of confidence replacing old feelings of weakness, smallness. These new experiences will gradually replace the negative ones. You will not forget negative experiences, but they will lose their hold on you.
