Each of these steps is simple in theory but hard in practice. One step might take you only a minute while another can take you hours. Never rush. However long it takes you, for every negative emotion, follow all four steps. There are no short cuts–although like anything else, the more you practice this, the better you’ll become at it and the faster you can do it.

Step 1: Problem

To start, write down what’s bothering you. You might say, “I hate my job.” But try to be more precise. Why exactly do you hate your job? Perhaps the real problem is, “I hate my boss.” All right. Why exactly do you hate your boss? Perhaps your boss yells at you. Good—write that down. The more specific, the better. And it might be more than one thing: if there are three reasons you hate your boss, write down all three.

How many problems should you list? All of them. There might be many reasons you toss and turn at night. Write each one down as a separate problem, on a separate page. Some might be hard to admit to yourself. For example: you hate your job but you don’t think you’ll ever find a better one. You don’t want to admit it, because you believe there’s nothing you can do about it, so you just try to put it out of your mind. It’s too painful to think about. But the truth is, you can’t keep it out of your mind: the thought keeps creeping back, especially at night as you try to fall asleep. So write it down as a problem. Don’t assume there’s nothing you can do. The rest of the exercise will help you figure that out.
