In The Walking Dead, a mother (Jessie) at Alexandria says to her kid (Sam), "Pretend that you're brave!" when Walkers (Zombies) are entering their premises.

Guess what! That works. That's very powerfully applicable to our real lives. And it needs to be applied on a moment-to-moment basis. It's not like a permanent phone setting.

If, today, I'm feeling sad about something, I'd say to myself, "Now, I've to go shopping. Let me pretend to be HAPPY and like as-if nothing has happened." This is what I often talk about on YouTube - to change your energy ?? before heading out. This is one very simple Mind Exercise to achieve that.

If I'm feeling lack-ful of money, I'd say, "From now until 1 pm, let me pretend that I am abundant and rich. Let me pretend that there's no lack of money." and keep feeling that way mentally.

Forget about any negative feeling for an hour or two, and resolve it later OR it will self-resolve when you consciously practice something positive.

The said negative feeling can be about a habit, pattern, or a temporarily generated negative feeling.

This Mind Exercise is to be done in a light-hearted manner. Don't get too analytical about it. Don't consider yourself as fake. Consider it like visualization. This is an attempt to behave in a particular way, to conduct yourself in a particular way, and to practice yourself into being.
