Second is "positive" which is the habit of seeing all the world through rose colored glasses. The third is placebo which denotes your deep faith that your action will lead toward a solution for the situation. Fourth is relaxation which greatly improves your flexibility to cope with vexing s~t~r~e~s~s. The fifth and final word, reinterpertation means seeking a new view which gives understanding.
