If you are not clear on what you want, your picture isn't clear, and that part of your brain won't be receiving and won't feel that positive emotion. If not it will find it in the simple things like vices, you can keep them in check if you are getting positive emotions from something beneficial.

40.10 - Science  of Gratitude

"If you can cultivate a state of gratitude and feel that, it switches your nervous system from a state of stress/fear to a parasympathetic state, and in that state, systems are optimised, in particular your immune system."

Feel gratitude as consistently as you can each day.

42.19 - Habit Stacking

• Taking a lifestyle habit and stacking on to a primary habit.
• Primary habits – things you do consistently day in and day out (autopilot), time there you can do something positive.
• For all the things you do consistently, the theory is your brain does it in auto mode, so there is space in your brain to add something new. Such a strong pathway in those habitual patterns so your brain takes the new thing and hijacks it, to help you adapt to the new habit quicker.
• Force yourself to write it, forces you to think about it, and if you think about it long enough it becomes a habit.
