Wasn't it over 7 decades ago that this notion was brought to the public's attention by a famous Christian pastor named Norman Vincent Peale? It has become such a part of our social consciousness that I doubt many people know what his initial concept was about.
But for now, consider this:
" . . . whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things . . . "
- Philippians 4:8 [NKJV]

My mom used to quote this to me when I went to bed feeling scared about something. Seeing it here at your blog was a nice memory of that.
