Some thoughts are unlikely and can be harmful to your well-being. For example, we may sometimes dwell on the catastrophic aspects of things and overlook certain facts.

Being aware of this can help us take them in. For example, in a situation where we notice that we are nervous, it is possible to observe this emotion and take it in without trying to change it. Module 5 offers strategies for doing that.
