1. That's a boatload of awareness.

Trace today's bad feelings back to their roots in childhood. See in your mind how they evolved over the years, and morphed into your feelings today.

Resolve to compartmentalize them, give them their daily 15 minutes, then put them aside and face the good thoughts for the rest of today. Face them first thing on waking in the morning. Put them in the background.

Talk to yourself. Out loud. Resolve not to be controlled by the negative side. Don't ruminate on them.
