You can’t go from a state of frustration and negativity that has been pilling up or
hit you suddenly, to a state of joy and ease, just by turning on the button of
positive thinking.
You can’t stop a train when it’s going full speed in one direction or switch to the
opposite direction, it will derail or cause much damage. Likewise, fooling
yourself with positivity when all you experience or perceive is negative doesn´t
validate your feelings and creates more exasperation.
Affirmations or visualizations are in such circumstances useless or can have the
opposite effect, as you don’t believe them; they annoy you further.
What to do then? Move your attention, slow down the train (of thoughts and
perspective). Not putting your head on the sand but allowing you time to breathe
and get your feet on the ground.
You need to move towards a more balanced state before you can grip positivity.
Climb the emotional scale.
