Dear Ale:

Making mindful choices requires thinking. Thinking that goes into making mindful choices is effective thinking, thinking that lead you to behavior that works for you.

On the other hand, there is a lot of thinking that doesn’t get you anywhere good, doesn’t lead you to behavior that works for you. That thinking- better substitute it with effective thinking.

So maybe the idea is to let go of ineffective thinking (the second kind) and substituting it with effective thinking.
