I mostly (not all of the time, mind you) decided that I had limited time and energy and that, being the one solely in control of who I use that time and energy, decided that I would choose what I chose to do - which is be on the happier side of things.
I also came to the realization my my feelings were a CHOICE. I could actually choose to be angry or I could choose NOT to be angry. It seems easier to choose NOT to feel the negative things than it does choosing to feel the happy stuff - but when really great moods come along, I'm ecstatic! Most of the time I'm just reasonably happy. And, I can accept reasonable happy.
Oh, and I don't hang much or often with constantly negative people. It gets to me after a while and pulls down my mood - plus they generally tend to be a drag.
