The good news is that once you get started deliberately thinking thoughts that feel good when you think them, you develop momentum, and it gets easier and easier. You're right though, that getting started can seem a little daunting.
Start small, Chado. Can you think of a thought that might make you feel just a tiny bit better? You don't have to actually think the thought; I'm just asking you to speculate.
A suggestion or two, just to get the ball rolling:
"It feels good to know there are people on this forum who want me to feel good."
"I'm doing reasonably well, considering!"
"No one has come to take away my kids yet."
"Thankfully, I have no kids yet."
"It's nice to know I have a place to express myself where people won't judge me and will support me in my efforts."
.......well, Chado?.... anything coming up for you???
