Document Summary
on average, as a class, there"s more we can do than we actually do: you are a thinking system. Framing: what kinds of thoughts pop into your head, do you ruminate, all processes are thinking processes, in the moment you can change the thinking process, automatizing changing thinking processes is harder, you are also an emotional system. person dominated by negative affect; narrowed focus can"t nurture; positive emotion opens up. Is there any way for you to change your emotional state in the moment? i. e. pretty pictures, candy, relaxing scenes: you also a healing system. come up with more ideas to solve problems: you are a physiological system. bad care of body (run-down) = . how can you enhance physiological positivity? i. e. eat a little less crappy food: you are a social system. arguably the most important aspect of quality of life.
