“If I am not persistent with my desire to think about other things, and consciously initiate new circuits of thought, then those uninvited loops can generate new strength and begin monopolizing my mind again.
To counter their activities, I keep a handy list of three things available for me to turn my consciousness toward when I am in a state of need:
1) I remember something I find fascinating that I would like to ponder more deeply,
2) I think about something that brings me terrific joy,
or 3) I think about something I would like to do.”
