"Choosing to live your life in joy is a revolutionary decision. The mind, however, is a stubborn old machine. All those synapses doing one dance for so long are now being asked to learn another. Daily practice is the key to retraining these connections, and it can be done. A meta-decision helps--to live your life in joy. Then the small forgettings, the automatic return to negative thought patterns become gentle modifications you make along the way.
It's time to try this out seriously. Thinking about it, agreeing with it intellectually, keeps you stepping in place. The way to persuade your head that life can be lived in joy is to practice, practice, practice. Join the Olympics of the Spirit, where everyone gets the gold."
