Thanks a lot, AlexK.
There are a few, rare occasions when I can experience it vaguely, but my mind does not seem to accept it. I have had a lot of negative events in the past having to do with a social phobia. These things really affected my self-image and it is very difficult to see myself in a more positive way. Paraliminals do seem to help, but they have only taken me so far.
You make a very good point about the effects of wanting something too much. Wanting implies a lack of having because nobody wants the things they already have. If you are trying to accomplish something more difficult, it can lead to frustration and a lack of motivation.
