I’ve re-written it a little to get the gist of it across:

How your thought process goes during this process:

Starting point:
I don’t like it this way, it’s not fair (doesn’t feel good)
to
I’d like it to be different but I don’t see it’s very different (about the same as before)
to
I’d like it to be different (slightly better than before)
to
I want it to be different (about the same as before)
to
Can I look at this situation differently so that it feels a little better? Can I change my thoughts and internal discourse a little to help soothe myself in a way I believe? I appreciate that by knowing what I don’t want, I better know what I DO want… So the way things have been up until now have helped clarify what I want. I can think a little more on what I would like to happen in an ideal world…
to
I hope it will be different (feels much better)
to
I know it’s possible that things can change..
to
I trust that the Universe has heard my desire and is lining up to bring it into my experience.. all I have to do is let go of my resistance to “what is” and let the Universe do its thing.
to
I believe things can be better.. I believe it’s possible..
to
It would be so nice if things were better.. I can picture what it would look like and I’m eager and excited about the possibility that this change can come.
to
Even if not everything is exactly as I’d like it, there are some things going right. There are things in my reality that I can focus on appreciating that line me up with this difference I wish would happen. I can appreciate what I have.. I can appreciate the good stuff in my life…
to
I’ve noticed it’s becoming a little different.. maybe not as different as I’d like it to be, but maybe it’s a start (better)
to
Maybe I can tweak the subject into a less-resistant place, then a less-resistant place, then a fairly neutral place, then mention an upside, a silver lining..
to
I like the way this is becoming different.. The manfiestation hasn’t come yet, but it’s feeling better..  I can focus on this fact that it is becoming better.. and hope that it’ll get even better…
to
It’s feeling better.. it’s feeling better..
to
Something good happened!
to
Something really good happened!

Important Note: It’s super important to tell a story you can believe and not force it. The process is a gradual, believable, step-by-step pivoting rather than a leaping right to the end. Each time you approach the subject tell the story a little differently, a little better if you can.
