I don't think people adopt beliefs that makes them feel good. Although I do think its important for people to adopt positive perspectives; a lot of anxiety and depression stems from people adopting beliefs that make them feel bad (ex. That they will fail the exam before its been graded).
That aside, my prediction is that people don't adopt beliefs because it makes them feel good; but once adopted they'll have a harder time letting go of those beliefs, if they do in fact make them feel good and letting go makes them feel bad.
