The thing with positive and negative experiences in consciousness correlates to how we perceive the world in general, it would not be a quality purely because of this, for example, if you see something good happen your consciousness relates this to a positive emotion, being positive isn't a quality of emotion we have because in today's terms qualities are distinguished by a type. Therefore a mindset that is trying to be positive wouldn't need a positive charge purely because everything we see that pertains to emotions is referenced in real life.
"Positive" and "negative " are just labels for electric charge. There isn't anything inherently positive or negative, mathematically speaking, about electric charges. We could just as easily have called them "blue" and "orange" charge.
I will now present my 2nd brief statement to also summarize my worldview which I think is quite interesting. Positive and negative charges are actual qualities. When you get a charge, you could either get a charge of a positive quality or of a negative quality. The same idea applies to our positive and negative emotions. Except, consider our positive and negative emotions to be a different type of positive and negative charge. They would be good and bad charges which means good and bad are actual qualities like positive and negative charges. Except, emotions are not charges. They are just qualities of good and bad. I just simply give this analogy of charges to get my point across. This means that, if you want real good value in your life, then a mindset alone would not work.You would need your positive emotions just as how you would need to get zapped by a positive charge because, if you wanted a real positive charge in your life, then a mindset alone would not work. The same idea applies to having bad value in our lives through our negative emotions. When we feel a positive emotion, then that is like a surge or a charge from the heavens. It is like pure heavenly light energy of goodness flowing through our conscious being. Our negative emotions would be like negative, dark energy of pure badness flowing through our conscious being. It is through our positive emotions that we become like transcended angels or gods while it is through our negative emotions that we become like the most horrible and disgusting goblins of the lower realms, metaphorically speaking. This means that our positive emotions are intrinsically good and our negative emotions are intrinsically bad.

Because quite clearly if we become lobotomised, our neurons are not firing in any manner. How do you suggest we test this?
Emotions are value judgments too. If they weren't, humanity would not be distinct from other mammals; we would be biological machines with no autonomy, acting purely on instinct. For example, if you are physically hurt, and the doctor treating you causes you pain during treatment, do you become angry and bite him? No, because you are able to override your instinctive anger and fear at someone causing you pain with your ability to reason that the treatment is necessary and the pain is temporary. But a dog can't reason, and will bite to stop the person causing the pain. Both the instinctive emotions AND the reasoned thoughts are value judgments.
"MY LIFE IS AWESOME!!! IT IS THE GREATEST LIFE POSSIBLE!!!"
Labels do not somehow alter our reality of experience.
