“I don’t know how but I’m going to do my best to feel the best that I can feel right now. I’m gonna reach for the best feeling that I can find from where I am. Not the solution to my problem, but the best-feeling thought.” So the best feeling thought might be, “Well, I’ll just live with this and I’ll look forward to something better next time and I’ll just do my best to make the best of this where I am.” And, “I believe in a brighter future and I know things are supposed to go well for me.” And you just talk to yourself until you feel yourself turn. And when you turn, when you turn and begin going with the stream — this is the thing that we so much want you to hear — in the moment that you turn like that, you feel the release of the resistance. It feels like relief, and even though you’re not quite there, that feeling of relief is your signal that you are doing the easiest thing that you can do right now.
