Don’t think about this
Apparently I should not be actually thinking about things — analysing things just makes them worse, or confuses you about things.
Of course, this is a NYTimes article: not necessarily the best imaginable science writing. And a study that says that depressed people spending some minutes thinking about themselves get *more* depressed is not exactly breaking news, or that if we want to change something, the best thing to do is go out and change it, not think about it.
Though I would argue you need to think about it to figure out what you need to change — perhaps I’d argue that because I like thinking about things.
