Our own understanding that thinking is a coluntary function fluctuates from moment to moment and from day to day; these variances are called moods. [Don't make important decisions when in a bad mood. And learn to recognize when in a bad mood.] SEPARATE PSYCHOLOGICAL REALITIES. Because we all think in a unique way , each of us lives in a separate psychological reality. FEELINGS. Our feelings and emotions serve as a built -in biofeedback mechanism that lets us know how we are doig from a psychological standpoint. THE PRESENT MOMENT. Learning to keep our attention in the present moment, by paying attention to our feelings, allows up to live at peak efficiency and without the distraction of negative thinking.
