"Don't wait until you're completely down and out to begin trying to pull yourself out of the ravine. Do things preemptively to cultivate happiness. Go back to the list of ideas to Raise Your Vibe and incorporate as many as possible into every day. Every day, do something positive before bed, sleep well, wake rested, and think or say positive statements that feel good such as "This is going to be the best day of my life," and feel it as if it is. Set positive intentions for your day and be sure to pay attention to what you say to yourself and how those thoughts make you feel all throughout the day.

Practice visualizing your new reality. Stop giving your full attention to your current reality if it doesn't feel good or this will block your ability to visualize. Worrying is visualizing what you do not want so turn toward appreciation instead. If you have a challenging situation, begin to reach for a feeling of relief. Focus on what you do want and this will begin to crowd out what you do not want.

Begin by accepting the situation. It has happened and is now in the past. Remember to use my resilience tool, ARE. Acceptance is at a neutral level in the ladder of low-to-high vibration energies. Try to release all struggle since this does not serve you or help the situation, then begin to expect the best. Learn to develop more resilience. Release your attempt to control outside people and circumstances and stay in your power. Try to be more playful and have fun with this. Nothing is the end of the world—really. Make mundane or even difficult tasks into a game and have fun and don't forget to smile often. Begin to live with deliberate positivity and watch what happens. Practice feeling the feeling of it and feel the power and clarity that comes from this good feeling.

When you have a challenging situation that arises, which will continue to happen, do this simple exercise. Think about something you love and appreciate. Get the good feeling that thought generates and hold onto it. Now think about the topic that is concerning you and find something to appreciate about it and get a good feeling again. It is always easier to handle challenges when you begin from a good place first, which is why it needs to be a daily practice to feel good. Once you find your happy place, stay there as long as you can and allow it to become a part of you. You must expand your thinking (which expands your energy vibration) to expand your life. You have control over your destiny, and when you learn and practice ways to feel good, this is ultimate freedom." — writes Janet McKee
