is it possible for one to have positive beliefs and still have negative emotions?

Absolutely! Depending upon how long (years) one has been feeding the negative thinking, and how many others have been adding to those negative cognitive distortions, it may take many years to "know" and "do/feel" the same good things!
While learning how to reinforce those positive cognitions, be sure you can recognize the distortions no matter what form they take. (There's a sticky post at the top of the Psychotherapy Forum.)
Don't become frustrated.  It's a long haul, but the right road!
