Your sense of self is described as an 'architecture' — something constructed, a story you tell that generates happiness as a byproduct of the narrative rather than from raw experience. If the self is a story, you can edit the plot. The frame you choose determines the feeling, not the other way around, which means mood is downstream of narrative, not narrative downstream of mood.
