      Apparently you’re supposed to distract yourself from negative emotions and ruminate on positive emotions. Not very useful if you don’t have any positive emotions to ruminate on.

          Another strategy is to make it a goal to find out. Plan a trip there and let yourself get excited about the possibility of it being just as fun. Chances are, it’ll probably be fun, just in a different way than it was growing up.
