how you feel. Easy to say, difficult to do. I would recommend a short and easy reading book, "Before You Think Another Thought." It is about the fact that thoughts precede experience, and most of us get this backwards. I would also recommend developing a meditation practice. All in all you deserve credit for your awareness. To good and peaceful thoughts.
