Why Are the Results Taking so Long?
It's important to remember the time-delay (which varies from an instant to months and years!)
What you're experiencing right now is a result of previous thinking - but right now, in this instant, you are creating what is to come, and you have complete and ultimate power over that! :)
So when you're not seeing the changes you want, remind yourself: "This is from previous creations of mine. Right now, I'm creating new stuff, which will show when it's ready, as long as I keep in alignment with what I want right now in this moment - by following what feels good, and doing what it takes to feeeeel good."
Sometimes it helps to think of it in a gardening context.... :)
These weeds I'm looking at right now, are the result of those seeds I sowed without realising it, months ago. Right now, I'm sowing the seeds for the flowers I like, and as long as I keep sowing these seeds for the flowers I want, and I don't sow any more of the weed seeds, then evenentually the weeds will run their course, die off, and in the meantime, the plants I want will be growing (of course, I'll water them each day, by focusing on whatever makes me feel good).

Walking Your Emotions...
Being human, most of us spend most of our lives in a "reactive" state emotionally. Something happens, and we feel an emotional response to it. What we're not naturally aware of is the fact that results follow our emotions... not the other way around.
It's like holding a dog's leash, and following the dog.... which is fine of course, if the dog is going where you want to go. But, if the dog is walking into muddy puddles, and you think you have no choice but to follow him, you're not going to enjoy the walk ;)
However, if you take the lead, you can lead the dog around the puddles, and the dog will follow you! :) Following the dog into the puddles is like responding emotionally to "what is". In other words, "Someone said something mean, and now I'm hurt" - the dog walked into the puddle and I followed.
Taking the lead with the leash, is like saying: "The dog walked into the puddle, but I don't want to be in a puddle, so I'll ignore the tug on the leash, and I'll walk the other way - around the puddle - and I know the dog will follow (he has no choice, he's attached to the leash ;) )" In other words: "I know that person said something mean, but I don't want to feel like that, so I will choose to ignore it and be happy in myself, and I know that my life experience will follow - it has no choice, it's attached to my emotions! ;)"
