Exercise Two

SMASH! It is dark and as you lay in your you hear a smash coming form somewhere in the home. Imagine what it would feel like if you Thought “Oh someone is trying to break in to my house”.

<Close your eyes and think about that thought and what other things now start to pop into your mind>

You think it could be the cat. What would be the best course of action?

Rather than investigating you stay in bed. How might that affect your thoughts and consequently how you feel?

Unable to sleep what might be going over in your mind?

In the end you decide to get up to investigate (the action) and find a smashed cup with in the kitchen that you left on the side the night before, There is no sign of your cat but everywhere is locked up.

If you could replay the situation all over again, what would you do differently? How might a lost couple of hours sleep effect you the next day?
