I read "The Secret" about 2 years ago while on vacation in the Dominican and I found it changed my life drastically. While I haven't seen a whole lot of manifesting objects, I have found that being so positive makes me feel better and brings me good things - better relationships with friends and co-workers, receiving some great job opportunities, getting an opportunity to own my first home, among other good things... even when a crappy thing came along once in a while, I was able to see the positive side, and would soon have more good things coming my way.  
 
Lately I've been finding it harder and harder to stay positive. The things that I want aren't coming my way, and things I don't want are coming left, right, and centre. Things I never even thought could happen to me! Things I never feared or worried about and yet I have somehow brought them into my world. And as negative things happen in my life, I find myself thinking "I must have done something wrong to have received this - time to think even MORE positive" only to end up getting another swift kick in the @$$ by the universe. It stresses me out, trying to figure out how I’m not following The Secret, or what I’m doing wrong to attract these negative things. I'm starting to wonder if all the good things that came my way were pure coincidence, and The Secret doesn’t even exist…  
 
Now, I realize that by posting this message alone, I've told the universe that my life sucks, but I need help finding my way back to the happy, positive world I found 2 years ago. Has anyone discovered any little exercises or tips for how to get out of a negativity rut? I want to feel positive again, but I'm losing my faith in "The Secret"...
