How to feel good? A question that has been asked by many. Of all the blocks that stops us from living the life of our dreams, the biggest is our resistance to feeling good.
Don’t believe me? Ask yourself: Have you come to rely on fear as a form of protection against feeling disappointment or hurt? It becomes so easy to slip into this way of thinking that you may not even be aware of it.
Fear can feel like a natural way to protect yourself and stay in control. We’ve all come to be far more comfortable in a state of fear than in a place of joy and faith. You may be thinking, “Wait, I don’t walk around feeling scared all the time. How am I relying on fear?”
The answer is that fear takes many forms, and emotions you likely recognize—such as anxiety, defensiveness, judgment, and the impulse to control—really stem from a sense of fear.
Think of fear as the opposite of love. When you rely on fear, as most of us do, you are disconnected from the free-flowing love of the Universe.
Whatever your situation is - This guide will show you 10 powerful step-by-step methods on how to feel good mentally and feel happy using scientifically proven ways that always work.
#1. The Key To Feeling Good is To Decide To Stop Feeling Bad.
In order to feel good, you must decide to stop feeling bad. It’s as simple and profound as that. There is no other way.
For far too long, we have resisted this decision because we’ve been waiting for our life’s circumstances to give us a reason to feel good.
In fact, many of us don’t even realize that feeling bad is a decision we’ve made. We think things like “I’ll feel good when I get a clean bill of health” or “I’ll feel good when I have the money in the bank.”
When we do this, we’re putting the outcome before the feeling. We have it all twisted! We think that we must live in fear in order to get something we want, which will then allow us to feel good.
But the truth is that once you feel good, you start to easily attract what you desire! When we make feeling good our priority, everything else can flow.
#2. Empower Yourself To Feel Good.
You need to empower yourself to feel good because a lot of people get hung up on the limiting belief that they’re not worthy of feeling good and having what they want. Struggle becomes a habit of self-pity, and joy is an afterthought.
I’m asking you to see things totally differently. If you think you’re not worthy of feeling good, then you’re out of alignment with the truth of who you are.
The loving energy of the Universe, the magnificence of God, the serenity of spirit is all within us.
There is not a source outside of us that can save us from our sense of unworthiness. When we truly accept that we embody the power of love, then we can start to realign with the belief that we are worthy of feeling good. Feeling good is feeling God.
By that I mean that when we feel good, we remember the God within us. Let these methods help you stand in certainty that you are good and that, when you embody this truth, good things flow to you naturally.
#3. Deciding to Feel Good is Easier Than You Think.
The Universe has been patiently awaiting your decision to feel good, and this decision is especially needed in your darkest moments.
The Universe is guiding us even when we resist it. The instant we release our resistance, a flood of support and love rushes in. It’s important to accept this. This isn’t a “fake it till you make it” exercise.
The Universe wants you to feel good and wants to guide you toward exactly what you want and need.
Remember, you are one with the Universal energy of love, and feeling good is your birthright. Don’t just take my word for it!
Let me help you see the Universe in action. Take any area of your life where you’re struggling and want to feel better.
Fill in the blank in the sentence below:
- I recognize I’m out of alignment with [name a person, situation, belief system, etc.].
- I choose to release the outcome and feel good now.
- Thank you, Universe, for guiding me.
This statement is a prayer. You’re humbly offering your fear over to the Universe, and you are claiming your desire to feel good! We can’t wait for our circumstances to change to feel good.
The more good-feeling emotions you bring to your current circumstances, the faster things begin to work out the way you want, and the faster you feel better.

#4. Think It To Feel Method.
The Think It to Feel It Method lets you borrow a moment of happiness that you’re able to identify and apply it to a situation where you’re otherwise struggling.
To get started, conjure up an area of your life where your desired emotion has shown up.
It could be in a situation from your past or even an image you have of your future self.
You can also think of someone in your life who displays that characteristic you would like for yourself.
Let me give you an example that illustrates this method.
For me, one of my big desires, and an area where I struggle, is to be more relaxed even when things aren’t going as planned.
I don’t have many experiences from my own life where I’ve been calm in the midst of something going wrong, so it’s hard to bring one to mind and call on that feeling from my own memory.
But when I think about how I might want to feel, I am instantly reminded of my friend Elisa.
Her attitude is relaxed and calm even in the most chaotic of circumstances. I can envision her saying, “Okay, everything’s working out.” She can turn to that place of certainty no matter what’s happening around her. I love this about her, and I want to embody it for myself.
So even though I can’t find that quality in myself yet, I know what it looks like and feels like to be around someone who has it. Elisa represents an attitude I can creatively call on as my desired feeling.
#5. Feel is Feelings.
The next step in assuming the energy of how you want to feel is to relish feeling good!
Devote 10 minutes a day to sitting in meditation and allowing yourself to feel the feelings of your affirmation. If you are new to meditation, get excited!
This is a practice even complete beginners can do easily. All you need is a quiet, comfortable place to sit. Just be sure you’re relaxed and sitting in a straight but natural posture.
This meditation practice begins with a journaling exercise, so have your journal by your side.
Once you’re seated comfortably, open your journal and write your new “feel-good” affirmation at the top of the page. Then, for a few minutes, write about how this desire makes you feel.
Write only about the positive aspects of this desire.
Direct your writing toward ideas and visions that make you feel good. If any other thought or idea comes to mind, swiftly reach for a better feeling and write it down.
Proactively guide yourself to a positive vision of your desire. When you’re done writing, take a moment to read over what you put onto the page. Let your words inspire you and ignite good-feeling emotions.
#6. Meditate on Positive Emotions To Feel Good Mentally.
Now it’s time to meditate on these positive feelings. Gently close your eyes and breathe into the high vibration feelings that you’ve cultivated through this writing exercise. Breathe long and deep. With every inhale, feel more deeply into the positive feeling.
Sit as long as you want to, and allow the good-feeling emotions to take over your psyche.
If you have a negative thought, just gently replace it with your affirmation. If visualizing yourself into your desired feelings seems difficult, you can instead sit for 10 minutes and silently repeat your affirmation. Let your positive affirmation replace any negative thoughts you may have.
This meditation is an exercise in assuming the energy of how you want to feel.
Remember, the Universe responds to your energy! This step is crucial in the process of alignment. When you’re happy for no particular reason, you become a magnet for what you desire!
When you loosen your grip on the outcome and focus on feeling good, good things come to you naturally. You’re no longer relying on getting something or somewhere to feel good mentally. You just feel good and allow.
I strongly recommend you make this a daily practice so that you keep the high-vibe momentum moving in the direction of what you’re ready to receive.
#7. Allow The Flow of Universal Guidance.
As soon as you start repeating your affirmation and focusing on feeling good, you’ll begin to notice the Universe supporting you.
In an instant the Universe can sweep in and rearrange your perspective.
The moment you surrender your fear to the Universe, love takes over. Your only job now is to let love come through.
Welcome and trust in every single feeling of support and every moment of synchronicity.
The more you embrace the wonder of Universal guidance, the more it will show up in your life. What you believe, you will perceive.
Choose to focus on the guidance, intuition, and direction that comes through. Whenever I affirm good-feeling thoughts and emotions, the Universe positively redirects my day!
I’m given creative possibilities for problems I otherwise could not solve.
I receive intuitions about how to handle situations that once overwhelmed me. I feel a sense of peace and faith. Feeling good aligns us with the Universe.
This alignment offers us health, mental clarity, confidence, and reduced stress and anxiety. When we feel good, we are the opposite of resistant. We are receptive.

#8. Watch Your Words And Words of Others.
It’s very important to recognize the power of your words. Simple words can direct you on the right path or lead you down a fear-based spiral that brings you into a state of misalignment.
For example, around the time that I was starting this blog, things had gotten very hectic in my business.
We were growing rapidly and desperately needed to hire more people.
My team was super on top of everything, but they were feeling overwhelmed. Without realizing it, the company mantra had become “We have so much going on and we can’t keep up with it!”
This mantra started with me. On every call I’d worry that everyone was too busy, or we would talk about how much we had to get done. My words started to infiltrate the team.
Within weeks all I kept hearing everyone say was “I just don’t have time to get it all done. I’m so overwhelmed.” Then I started to notice how their resistance was making me feel out of alignment with the good vibes I’m used to exuding.
It was resulting in low energy, a negative mantra, and low morale.
So watch your words, it's important to use positive words no matter what your life situation is. When you use high vibration positive words you automatically start shifting your mindset from busy to free, from negative to positive, from fear to hope, from bad to good.
#9. Final Thoughts On How to Feel Good Mentally.
Here’s how you can change your thoughts when you notice fear sabotaging your flow:
- Notice the fear.
Notice when your fearful thoughts start sabotaging your positive flow, and ask yourself, “How do I feel right now?” Let yourself feel whatever is coming up for you.
- Forgive the thought.
Forgive yourself for fearing the good feelings. Say out loud or silently, “I forgive this thought, and I choose to believe in love instead.” Then celebrate your desire to shift back to feeling good!
- Choose again.
Answer this question: “What is the best-feeling thought I can find right now?” Then thank the Universe for guiding you toward that thought.
- Be Satisfied With What is.
You may find great relief in these methods and notice immediate changes. But there might also be some areas of your life that take a bit longer to shift. That’s totally fine.
The goal isn’t to change everything about your life overnight. The goal is to have fun along the way to what you desire! Abraham-Hicks say:
"The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But if you don’t feel really good on your way to there, you can’t get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you’re reaching for more".
#10. Conclusion - How To Feel Good Mentally And be Happy.

So just forget what you think you need and focus on feeling good mentally!

You’ll release the need to get something, be somewhere, or have certain circumstances in place to be happy.
Happiness will become the outcome you desire most.
