I write this because over thousands of hours of listening to therapy clients, students, and others, it seems to me that all kids and most adults usually aren't aware of how they think . So to raise your awareness , here are some thoughts and suggestions about effective thinking. There's no right or wrong here - just what the unique, amazing critter called by your name thinks . When conflicted, my unconscious mind overrules my conscious thoughts . The bigger and clearer my vocabulary is, the more effective my thinking will be .
College graduates think more clearly and effectively than people with less education .
Thinking is different than believing . People who are not aware of their thinking can still be highly effective communicators . You learn that butterflies and broccoli are safe to touch, and scared rattlesnakes aren't. Lacking word-symbols, this level seems more primitive. These form the mysterious province of our unconscious mind.
