The Secret

[macdobhran]

If you are feeling really good, negative thoughts and words are not on the same frequency as you, so you don't even have to try to stop them because all good things just pour out of you. So, the fastest way to be more positive is to watch how you are feeling, rather than trying to monitor your thoughts and words. You are the only one who has control of your feelings, so start to get in touch with how you are feeling, and then deliberately focus on intensifying a good feeling within you.

Was this the entirety of the quote? because "then deliberately focus on intensifying a good feeling within you." seems like it should be introducing ~how~ one would go about doing it. that would be a great thing to know, ya know?

Yes, that was the whole quote. I see what you mean about it being a leading phrase (kinda makes you want to read the book, huh? ;)

Try reading it from the comma. "so start to get in touch with how you are feeling, and then deliberately focus on intensifying a good feeling within you."

The section you referenced, at least to me, seems to be a statement of what to do after you start to get in touch with how you are feeling. I'm sure there's more on this train of thought but calendar only plucks snippets of text from the book.
