Dear Lsler:

I tried to understand. This is what comes to my mind and let me know if there is something there for you:

Wandering thoughts in our brain, so many of them. How do we know which to engage in and which to not engage in and how much time to engage in with which, how much time to spend resolving the problem that the thought presents, is that what you are wondering about?

If so, there is the Here and Now scanning: how am I doing? Feeling too warm? Take the sweater off. Feeling thirsty? Drink water. Feeling weak? Take a break. Lots of people miss this simple Here and Now scanning.

Then there is the future scanning: Have to be at work at 9 AM and feel refreshed then? Wake up at 7, have a good breakfast at 8 etc. Need a boyfriend/ partner in my life? List what it is I am looking for in one, prepare a strategy to meet one that is right for me. Etc.
