Similar to the statements of Esther Hicks, Mike Dooley in Infinite Possibilities says: Whenever [emotions] are unpleasant they serve as a reminder that our present perception is not based on truth but misinterpretation of the truth.

So I give myself permission to quickly change my thoughts. The change in my feelings doesn’t happen automatically – not yet.

Slowly as I allow myself to look at the bigger picture, I see my limiting beliefs and self-doubts. I realize I have the power to choose my thoughts.

I then stretch my imagination to expand my world. It creeps but slowly my mood changes into a pleasant one.
