Force out what you don't want to think or feel by displacing it with pleasure.
It's
difficult to add too much pleasure to your life. I've never heard of a
case myself. But I know lots of people who have let pleasure diminish
and even drop out of their experience.
When I tell clients to
add pleasure I often hear a pause of silence on the phone, and then
they say, "How?" If you asked a child to add pleasure. They would be
quickly up and out to do it. Everyone knows how, they may just have to
refresh their memory.
Add every kind of harmless pleasure you
can think of, heap it on, let it run over. If you need help finding
pleasure, take out five sheets of paper, label them one for each of the
five senses, then begin listing every small and doable thing you can
think of that is pleasurable that you could actually do.
Then set out to do them.
