Imagine A Pink Elephant

• The mind only works in the positive; it cannot operate in the negative.
  • Imagining a pink elephant is a positive, real mental action.
  • However, the pink elephant cannot be directly forgotten.

• Once the effort of not thinking about the pink elephant stops:
  • Your attention moves on to something else.
  • The pink elephant is forgotten.
