When you find yourself feeling good take a moment, close your eyes and get deeply into the feeling. Run your attention throughout your body and enjoy the feeling. Besides showing appreciation for when you feel good you can create a "memory photo" that you can use later when you don't feel so well. When you aren't feeling well close your eyes and bring up that "memory photo" as vividly as you can. This trick has helped me quite a bit.
It also helps break momentum of the illness. After being sick for years we are much more used to being ill than well. Our natural state becomes illness. It's important to try to reverse that. Live it in your mind first and it can come to your reality.Shawn
