This has more to do with the emotions than with manifestation, but:
One of the most striking concepts I took away after seeing the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?" is that of being addicted to the chemicals in our bodies which control our emotions. After some extremely deep digging within my conciousness, I realized that this is correct...that the feeling of anxiety or fear or depression came first, and then my mind scrambled to come up with a specific reason why I should feel that way (and there are no lack of candidates for that...if there were none, one would make them up anyway).
Once I realized that, it became much easier to dismiss the negative feelings since I now know that the reason for my feeling bad is because of a chemical, not because of some outside thing acting on me. I think that if this is goes on long enough one could learn to ignore most of the internal bad stuff and let the good stuff dominate.
