Abraham-Hicks has come up with a series of emotions that will help you work from feeling bad to feeling better about what ever you are experiencing. If you find where you are emotionally on the scale, and then try and find thoughts that feel just a tad bit better about it. Small baby steps toward Joy.
This is the scale:

[...] When my husband’s depression got really bad in February, I sort of lost my connection with source due to how I was focusing on everything. I would let my focus go to more negative feelings and travel down the emotional scale to meet my husband in his depression. That really wasn’t a pretty picture because we both were going back and forth between depression and anger. Icky, icky, icky. [...]
[...] I truly, truly do feel better now. And I’m going to try to remember to keep up with this throughout the day. This will work to bring me up Abraham’s emotional scale, which will help me to be the happiest person I know. [...]
[...] When I picked up a copy of “Ask and It Is Given”, I was fascinated by the concept of The Emotional Scale. There are three basic things it’s done for me: [...]
[...] It was a major trip up and down the emotional guidance scale for me, repeatedly. Right now, I think I am hovering between overwhelment and hopefulness. [...]
[...] Hmmm, maybe the anger isn’t a failure after all. It is my response to looking at what is and feeling helpless and depressed about it all. As per the emotional guidance scale, that is actually a move in the right direction. That realization actually made me feel a little better about where I am. I am where I am and where I am is okay. (or so says Abraham ) I am still trying to internalize that one. [...]
[...] Consider the possibility that we may use blame as a handrail to pull ourselves out of even more debilitating feelings. If we keep reaching for the next handrails past blame, rather than stopping there, we’ve moved ourselves into more positive and productive states of mind. I haven’t seen the movie, The Secret, but I’ve read some of the Abraham Hicks material that sparked it, and there’s an awesome list of emotions, called the “Emotional Guidance Scale”. It climbs (or sinks, depending on which way you read it) from the darkest, most helpless, to the grandest and most elevated feelings. He warns against attempting to pop from fear and hopelessness directly up to happiness and joy (have you watched anybody attempt to do this?), and suggests allowing even a few of the in-between steps. [...]

Wow, pessimism is only a few lines below optimism. This reminds me to encourage clients to step into something even if it is pessimism. I came across this scale while writing a blog on anger and the value it provides. Anger is a significant point on the scale.
Moving through anger clears so much energy that it is like hitting a slick point and gaining a burst of energy
upward on the scale. It even has the potential to catapult people up the next few emotions.
[...] be obvious, but I’m going to say it anyway, anger is not violence. Anger is an emotion. On Abraham-Hicks’ Emotional Guidance Scale it’s on the way up from fear, powerlessness, depression, grief, guilt and unworthiness (and [...]

Hi, thank you for this. I consult with it a lot when I’m trying to make myself feel better.

[...] I wonder if I can do this justice? Here’s my explanation of ‘rising up the emotional scale’: Taking step by step actions to make myself feel better. I begin by recognizing that thoughts generate emotions. Then I identify what I’m thinking and acknowledge how it makes me feel. Then I make a conscious choice to focus on a thought that will generate a feeling that takes me one step up from what I’m feeling now. Abraham (a voice of wisdom channeled through Esther Hicks) identifies 22 different emotions that one can slide through to go from depression to joy.
