How to Regulate the Experience of One's State of Mind

consciousness is delayed by about half a second. Most of the time, the entire process that i have just described has already happened as it enters into consciousness. It's unusual to see the process of the mind forming conceptual reality. And so we're engaged often in this revers engineering: This is what i've made, what did i make it out of? Rather than 'this is what i'm sensing' or 'This is what i am feeling' We develop strategies for regulating different states of mind through experience.
