- No matter how much you wish, want, or desire, nothing will be different – We live in the illusion that things could have been different. If it could have happened a different way, it would have.
- Thinking about the things that happened to you don't change anything – Reliving your trauma, drinking and bringing attention to your past only destroys your future. Your future self is waiting for you and you're in the past.
- Your brain reacts the same to a thought as it does reality – The print neurologically fires the same to a thought as is does to reality. Thinking about the experience is convincing your brain it's happening now. Stay out of the past.
- Mental rehearsal is only healthy if you're using it to move forward - Viewing the movie of your life is healthy if you're using it to process a better way to do something similar in your future with a better outcome. "Can I do it better now".
- Toxic people from your past don't deserve a place in your future – You are a victim everything and everyone that has ever happened to you. Nobody that contributed to your unhealthy behavior needs to be in your present.
