Question For people who understand LoA and "The Secret"

I have a question I attempted to get an answer of sorts to earlier but without satisfactory results.

In The Secret and everywhere I read and hear "only focus on things that make you feel good and positive things" and so on. In The Secret, it says to feel grateful for what you have and you will get even better things (Joe Vitale uses one example of clothing...) What nobody tells you is if, for example, you are feeling grateful for the current situation in a relationship and perhaps you are focusing on thinking of that or other things you feel good about, what is happening and what is going to happen with the specific situations that cause you to worry and feel bad?

I can follow this and focus only on thoughts and things that make me feel good and I can feel gratitude for them, but it seems to be understood in The Secret and any other time someone says that, that the one thing that is not working out for you will solve itself just by virtue of the fact that you are ignoring it and thinking and feeling good about everything else.

What really happens when you only think about areas of your life that feel good and you ignore the one situation that is problematic? It seems like it would linger unchanged until you stop dwelling on all the good feelings about unrelated things and address it.
