Its fascinating to listen closely when people tell you about their their day. They will almost always give you the most positive (or dramatically negative) highlights. Seldom will they tell you about the wholeness of the day, including the moments of doubt, despair, boredom, difficulty, thoughts and feelings while doing dishes or other errands, and so on. And, interestingly, that is also how we often represent our own days to ourselves and others. As an exercise, after youve gotten in bed to sleep, remember back to the moment you woke up that morning, and then fast-forward the film of your memory through the day including, as best you can, impressions of everything you experienced, not just outer events but also inner states, moods, and so on. If you have a chance, come back to this page and let us know how this exercise went.--Dennis Lewis Follow Dennis Lewis, The Laughing Philosopher
