You don't have to feel on cloud 9 all the time, like BelleEnchanted said, feeling good takes different forms and intensity. For me, whatever makes me smile is already making me feel good and the thing is that the more you allow small things to make you feel good, even if just a little bit, the more open you will be for other things to make you feel better, or to put it in the context of the LoA, the more things to feel good about you will attract into your experience - and that means you won't have to be so actively looking for things to generate the feeling. What worked for me was to pay attention to the things that naturally made me feel good throughout the day, I did that for a period of time and took mental note of those things, so whenever I find myself on the wrong track, I go do those things. I don't know if this is the internal conversation you have going on, but just in case, I will say: don't get too attached to the thought "I need to feel good" because there's a very specific feeling already associated with this kind of thinking, which is "I'm not feeling good now and, God, if I don't feel good things are not gonna flow..." and so on and so forth. Just identify what things, activities, reads, thoughts, whatever it happens to be for you, put a smile on your face, give them attention and focus and ALLOW it to grow from there, rather than try to push or force a state of mind.

Just my 2 cents based on what works for me.
