It's a research paper which takes a bit more effort to understand (for me at least :) ). But it's very interesting. Reg,

Have you read the Davis research "Metacognition, Agents, Animats and the Society of Minds"? It is a facinating piece (with a brief 5 page abstract) that looks at some similar concepts. Here is the address if you are interested. Bye the way, No, I didn't write it. No, I'm not selling anything. :) www2.dcs.hull.ac.uk/NEAT/dnd/papers/AISB07_1.pdf Albert and Donald,

Your third suggestion - letting them slide - reminds me of the "thank you for sharing" technique I picked up (I think) many years ago at a Landmark Forum. Basically, any time I realise I'm hearing my inner voice talking in a way that I know isn't constructive, I imagine it's another person that I can interact with. In the same way that I might react to someone outside of myself, I basically acknowledge what it's saying, thank them for sharing, let them know they've been heard, and then attempt to move on. This is usually enough to get the unconstructive inner voice to shut up... at least for a while anyway ;-) blessings Starfire Hi Albert - fascinating post!

I agree that turning around and facing everything you've been running away from is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Thank you Seeker (as well) - it works tremendously well for breaking bad habits as well ;) Cheers! Thank you Craig, yes!
