How do you keep that feeling good part? I live in a place that the people seem determined to drive me into miseryville with them. How do I set my mood apart from theirs and just focus on the positive?
I have already started the gratitude list. I haven't written it down though because if I think of new things to be grateful for, then I don't have to worry about it becoming routine.
I just need some tips that they don't tell you in the movie.

Sorry, I don´t know the movie, but I can tell you how i made it from the negative side to the positive side.
And don´t laugh about it.
Just take a little book and write down three things that were positive.
Do it every day.
You have to open your eyes for the whole day to find the positive things.
Yes it sounds funny-but it had worked for me. And of I am in a bad mood - I do it again.

I am not laughing, that is a very good idea. I try each night when I pray to thank God for the things that went well and that sort of thing, but maybe I need to put it on paper too.
I just have to figure out how to set up a reminder. I am terrible with such things.

The best reminder for me was to keep the book beside my bed.
So it is the last thing you see and you never forget to do.
And in bad mood just take look into the book and read. You will feel the smile on your face growing.

I just need to find the memory to remember to do all of this. However, I will do so because it is important to me.

Attracting what you want is so easy that if you find it difficult (and I say this, in the kindest way) then you're doing it wrong.
All you have to do is keep a picture of what you want, in your mind, for 17 seconds. In that short 17 seconds (because the Universive is FAST), what you want, will be already there. All you have to do is, Let It In.
The way to let it in, is to reach for the happiest thought you can find, and dwell on it. Everytime you back up to a negative thought, just gently go right back to your happy thought. Just keep going back to that happy thought, until you feel better.
I promise you, this will work, as I have done it, over and over again. All you have to do is let it in, by reaching for something happy (in your mind). Pretty soon, that happy thought becomes predominant, instead of the one you were thinking about before.
Don't live the life of the people around you. Live your own, happy life.
The answer to your problem will never come from outside of you. It is INSIDE of you. Go inside yourself. Find that happy thought, and stay there, as long as you can.
You'll see that your mood will change and pretty soon, those people around you, won't matter. The best thing you can do for yourself is find your own joy. That will solve your problem.

It is not the attracting stuff I find difficult. It is the maintaining positive happy feelings ALL the time. That can be difficult when you are in the habit of being easily brought down. I just don't know why other's cannot stand to see someone happy. I never understood that.
I have been working on this though, thanks for the tips.

It is an at home thing. My husband doesn't know how to be happy. He focuses too much on what we have a lack of rather than focusing on what we have to be grateful for. He has watched the movie, The Secret, so it is not like he is unaware of LOA, but I think he is like me. He just doesn't know how to get out of the cycle of negativity. I try to stay positive and feeling good, but he is determined to wallow in his misery and seems to want company.
I just don't know how to keep happy when he is constantly lashing out at me and the kids for, what I perceive is no good reason. Even though I know it stems from deeper reasons than what he chooses to get bent about.
That is pretty much the long and the short of it. I don't expect him to make me happy, but I do expect him to allow me to be happy with myself.

Of course, I don't know your situation. Are you living or working with people that are always wanting you to be unhappy?
You can't be concerned over what other people are thinking about you. If you keep doing that, you will never find your joy. All you're doing then, is keeping yourself in THEIR world, instead of creating your own.
Maybe you can give me a little more about your situation. I'd be happy to try to help you find your path...
And by the way, you don't have to walk around all day, grinning and laughing, so that other people can see. All you have to do is be happy, on the inside, where no one can see but you and the Universe. :)

There is no system other than personal discipline and attention.
Start with writing down your daily schedule. Schedule at least 15 minutes a day when you can meditate and dream.
Have your visions clear.
Do it everyday, don't give up and don't change your direction.
You can really attract what you want and what you need.

I will have to take time to do this. Maybe when I go biking or walking in the mornings.
