Number one, we need to be present, to be aware of what we're thinking. And the second you start feeling bad, that is a key indicator that you are not present, because we are going to train ourselves to stay present in the moment and forward-choose our emotions. This is where we get to choose to feel good by being present. So then we're aware of our thoughts. Because our thoughts result— like, our thoughts lead to how we feel. So if we're not conscious about what we're thinking, you can spiral down into the negative emotions. But we are going to consciously choose to feel good because that's all it takes. Just choose to feel good. It is that simple. But you need to be conscious of your thoughts in order to make that decision. Okay, got it? Does that make sense?
