Zeland claims that his method of transmitting or manifesting positive energy will accelerate this materialization process and help smooth your transition into your ideal version of reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zeland explains that you\u2019re always choosing how you interpret all of your experiences. When you choose to interpret something as positive, you transmit positive emotional energy that feeds a positive version of reality. On the other hand, when you choose to interpret something as negative, you transmit negative emotional energy that feeds a negative version of reality. Therefore, <strong>c<\/strong><strong>hoosing to interpret <\/strong><strong><em>all<\/em><\/strong><strong> your experiences as positive ensures that only positive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/are-there-multiple-realities\/\">versions of reality<\/a> can get reflected back to you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He suggests that you can train yourself to continually transmit positive emotional energy by focusing only on what you want to experience and appreciating all of the good things in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Train Yourself to Transmit Unconditional Positive Energy<\/strong><br><br>Like Zeland, Neil Pasricha (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-happiness-equation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Happiness Equation<\/em><\/a>) argues that you can always <em>choose<\/em> to feel positive, regardless of what\u2019s happening in your life.
