All we have to dois observe our thoughts and reactions and eventually decide if we want to express them. But foremost we need to decide if those thoughts that eventually develop in reactions or emotions have a validfoundation and deserve to be given the attention we usually do. Sometimes I get angry at myself for letting myself feel the way I feel, for letting myself get angry or frustrated or jealous or allowany negative thoughts break into my "under new management" mind. We need to take charge of our subconscious and expose our inner thoughts to our conscious mind. That way we can clearly listen and decidewhich ones, among our daily avalanche of thoughts, are constructive and have a positive impact in our lives."
