The survivors thread

[Aliantha]

I learned to make myself think beyond the moment I'm in, meaning to re-adjust my focus from the now and look forward and consider how I'm feeling now from that perspective. To think about what my future will be if the thing that's getting me down really comes to pass, or doesn't end. To think about the fact that feeling as I do in the moment isn't how I'll feel in the end, and to be aware of the fact that feelings are always more intense in the moment than they usually are in hindsight.

I guess it's basically taking my logical mind away from my emotional mind and using it to control my emotional outcome.
