I wish I could. I am stuck in a painful situation right now, but your words made me smile, so thank you! I try to find joy every day.

It also helps to recognise the transience of life. Affirm, ‘this too shall pass, within this lucid dream’

Ask ~ to whom do such and such thoughts or emotions come? To body-mind, which I am not. Thus, we observe as a witness. Thoughts slow down. A second method is to feel instead of think, by shifting to heart or gut/navel. The negativity is then suddenly no longer as significant as it seemed.
