People whose lives seem to be emotional roller coasters tend to see almost all of their experiences from the associated position. In contrast, people who are detached and without emotion tend to see most events from a
dissociated position. Nobody’s life is perfect. Use this simple method of choosing the appropriate perception (associated for pleasant events and dissociated for unpleasant ones), so that life is as enjoyable as possible
and so that you are freed from the negative past events that might prevent
effective action.
