1. Spend one minute thinking about just one thing.
Okay. Were you able to do that, or did your mind wander off the topic? For most of us, wandering off the topic is inevitable. On the other hand, if I had instructed, "Don't think about a red car," you might have found that you had numerous visions of red cars go through your mind: convertibles, hot little sports models, and so on. You may have wandered off the topic to fire trucks, pick-ups, and vans. You may have even had time to escape the red group and try a different color, but you probably would have stayed with cars and red. Odd, isn't it, that it is sometimes easier to do what you are told not to do?
