thinking about the good typically means thinking about the fact that something IS good; i.e., rehearsing reasons X is good or considerations in X's favor
Show this thread -
this typically works when you are poised in equilibrium between two alternatives, X and ~X, and you need your neocortex to play "spot the difference" and give you a shove one way or the other
