Here is what I’ve written down in my H.E.A.L summary re. positive experiences. Maybe helpful for some:
A positive experience could be anything that feels pleasant, it is useful, and that you want to cultivate in your mind. Some examples: feeling good about yourself being proud of something you’ve achieved feelings of being liked, loved, loving, grateful feeling safe, calm, relaxed, joyful getting a hug, compliment, etc.
A positive experience could be: intellectual understandings, Intentions, Skills, Moods, Abilities, Attitudes, Feelings The key is to get something like a Felt Sense, some emotion, some feeling in your body, etc, so you can move beyond just some intellectual understanding towards an implicit emotional understanding in the following steps. You can look for good facts in: Your immediate situation Current or recent events Ongoing stable conditions Yourself The past The future The lives of others The good in bad situations Your imagination (things that have not yet happened or even things that will never happen) Produce Good Facts: e.g. be kind and caring to others; share about good facts with others.
