"As a man (woman) THINKETH, so IS he (she)"
As hard as it is, we can condition ourselves to think positively.
My trigger has been to think of this really good family picture we took 1.5 years ago. I'm really un-fotogenic, and I actually look OK, my wife looks great as always, and our S is really cute. The mere thought of that picture immediately makes me smile!
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.

Oh by the way, I looked in your mailbox, nothing showed up
You're right! Nothing! This chick is messing with my head now. This is all just a huge game of payback to her. I can take it, I deserve it. I'm good, it'll all remind me of how important she is and my family is in my life. I'll never forget again!!!
