Thanks again, much appreciated, Misty

It essentially means that you act like the person you would like to be right now, even if you don't actually feel that way. Act like you have what you want in life, even if you don't.

For example, if you're feeling down about your marital situation, you act as if your H is not bothering you and that you are content to go about your business.

Say "Hi" pleasantly to him, even if you feel like you'd rather not.

Smile, even if you don't feel like smiling.

Anticipate that pleasant behavior will produce better outcomes, that sort of thing.
