Switching back and forth between positive outlooks and pessimistic outlooks is very much like putting the brakes and the gas on in the car at the same time. One day you might be feeling rather optimistic, gravitating toward positive emotions, and then the next day you might be doubting that physical reality will change for you, and feeling despair and helplessness. Then the day after that you might be back to the optimistic expectation of your desires becoming manifest. If you find yourself going back and forth between two different moods, you can be sure that your reality will not change, because in essence you have put on the gas one day, but put the brakes on the next day.

If you truly want to change your reality, you must maintain a consistent emotional (and mental) state for at least 30 days. Physical reality moves slower than your mind and emotions. You must believe in your mind, and this concerns your thoughts and the dialogue that you say to yourself, and you also must feel the new vibration of the reality that you are trying to create. Affirmations do not work unless you carry the feeling tone that goes with the expectation of them. Just as you stop the thinking of the mind in order to achieve a still mind, you must also do the same with the emotional body. Whenever you find yourself feeling a negative emotion, simply stop, and readjust yourself. When you feel hungry in the physical body, you eat. When you feel thirsty in the physical body you drink liquids. You can do the same with the emotional body. When the emotional body feels negative emotions, you can make adjustments in the mental body to appease the emotional body and make it feel better, just the way that you give food to the physical body when it is uncomfortable from hunger or thirst.
