2. Question
Determine the state of consciousness most representative of the feelings you logged. You can use the States of Consciousness Chart included with the Feeling Observation Log included at the beginning of this lesson to help you define your current state of consciousness. It has some general examples of the byproducts of each brain function, to help you become familiar with the three states of consciousness we are using in this phase of the process. Are you experiencing a fight-or-flight state of consciousness? Are you in rest-and-digest or are you feeling motivated and successful? Enter the state of consciousness you determined to best represent your feelings in the space below.

3. Question
That’s it. You’ve completed your first entry. Try to log your feelings several times a day, three or four is good. I’ve given you a few pages of logs in your course materials. I recommend staying with this practice long enough to fill all the pages. By the time you’re done, you should be ready to move forward. However, if you need more time, print additional logs. Nothing in this program will have more impact on your success than being able to identify your state of consciousness.
Takes notes below about what you notice. As you log, you might recognize patterns connected to times of the day or being around certain people or situations. Don’t judge these reactions. Just recognize and record them. You’re not trying to be something specific. You’re just recognizing where you are today, driven by the unconscious reactions of your brain.
Again, I recommend committing to the practice for a week or even two. The better you do at this practice, the more successful you’ll be in the program overall. It is foundational. What commitment do you make to yourself today for your practices? Set alarms on your calendar and write the time you commit to the Feelings Observation Practice in the space below. When you are complete for the day, select “Finish Questions for Contemplation.
