Hal Elrod explains "emotional optimization meditation": a short, intentional meditation practice where you first identify a desired emotional state (e.g., confidence, love, playfulness), then deliberately enter and "marinate" in that state for a short timed period (2, 5, or 10 minutes) to help hardwire neural pathways and make that state more accessible as a default. He gives everyday examples (pre-presentation confidence, connecting with clients, "playful dad" mode) and notes his personal default preference for a blissful state of love, peace, gratitude, and joy.
