The first question is, “Is it true?” The second is, “Can you absolutely know that it’s true?” The third is, “How do you react—what happens—when you believe that thought?” The fourth is, “Who would you be without the thought?” Then you turn the original thought around, and find genuine, specific examples of how the turnaround is true in your life. This is a way of letting you experience the opposite of what you have been believing.
