{1} Be prepared for Positive Experiences (PEs) mentally and physically

Be relaxed and comfortable feeling and expressing strong positive emotions. Maintain healthy habits, positive attitude and self talk so you have robust positive emotional reflexes and lots of bounce and energy to make the most of PE opportunities whenever they appear-- planned or unexpected.

{II} Plan, schedule, research, anticipate PEs--

not just vacations or weekend evenings-- but throughout each day of the week. Study your own behavior patterns, your inner and outer resources and your environment to build a PE knowledge base that helps you zoom in on PE opportunities-- planned or unexpected-- and schedule challenges, fun, pleasure, and good deeds.

{III} Recognize, identify, Initiate and Embrace your PE Opportunities.

Sharpen your skills for recognizing positive experience opportunities and initiating them most effectively. Develop a positive attitude that expects to find and seeks out positive experience opportunities.

{IV} Intensify and Prolong the positive experience.

Increase its complexity, extend its length, enrich its sensory, emotional, social and spiritual content to make the PE more meaningful and memorable.

{V} Encode to memory:

Store the PE (in your brain, diary, photo, audio, video or computer) for integration into your memory, your view of yourself and your relationship with the world. Do a post PE stretch to etch the experience even more solidly into your memory.

{VI} Use the PE later:

Transplant the feelings to new situations, clone it, strengthen your self esteem and positive attitude, face adversity with greater strength, character and equanimity, and brighten your happiness.

%5 Afghan Moab Bombs: 4 Pipeline Builders?

Hello Friends are you still wondering?: "Thinking about Iraq and the mess we have going on over there. Everything out of control and up for grabs. Our troops getting closer and closer to annihilation. Made even more dangerous through the United States Practice of Torture and Murder. You can about imagine the fate of any American taken prisoner. What goes around comes around, been that way for eons.

Think about Iraq brings another thought to mind. We are all pretty sure that this is really about O-I-L. Remember all the “Bunker Busters” dropped in Afghanistan at the start of the conflict there? These monsters were supposed to pulverize everything in their path. Along about the same time there was a lot of talk about wanting to build a new pipeline but the terrain was so difficult to navigate. I wonder just exactly where all these bombs were dropped. Would it be a coincidence if they just happened to have been dropped along the proposed route for a pipeline?"
