California TK hits a milestone: all 4-year-olds now eligible - CalMatters

enterprising group of students, inspired by the opening of a Dutch Bros. near the school, used the home living station to open their own coffee shop. They ordered lattes and made coffee and collected money. Swanson turned it into a math lesson by asking them to count marshmallows and decide how many should go into each cup of hot chocolate.

“One child would be the barista and one would be the customer, so they learned how to share and take turns,” Swanson said. “They were getting so much practice with social language and communication. And everything was integrated into play.”

Please read ten points generated thru clinical psychology lens to internalize below raw thoughts.

There is a conflict my mind creates not once but several, several times when I'm involved in non gainful activity. This non gainful activities such as playing a game which i seldom,  extremely seldom play creates a ripple in my mind MOSTLY DUE TO others judging me. 

After achieving certain major milestones in life,  i became extremely confident in myself.

Now especially after ten day meditation 15 years ago around 2010,  I learned to extremely alert,  mindful and intentional. 

Coming back to the ripple, the slight perturbed feeling that is slightly unnerving is what I've to be extremely alert, mindful and intentional. 

Main point: life CANNOT BE continous excitement.  MOST,  MOST,  ALMOST ALL moments in life will be dull,  non eventful. 

ONE HAS TO LIVE THRU THOSE moments with equal alertness, mindfulness. Yet staying intentional because anytime am opportunity can pass you by.

key ideas from Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen, drawn from quotes, summaries, and reader reflections:

1. Thoughts vs. Thinking

The core distinction Nguyen makes: a thought is a fleeting idea, while thinking is getting caught in that idea and spinning with it .

2. Root Cause of Suffering

It's not what we're thinking about, but that we are thinking that causes our suffering .

3. Crowded Mind / Peaceful Heart

A crowded mind leaves no space for a peaceful heart—letting go of thoughts makes room for emotional calm .

4. DVD Metaphor

Thought is like a DVD disc containing information, consciousness is the player showing the movie, and Universal Mind is the electricity powering it all .

5. Reducing Thinking Over Time

You can't completely stop thinking—but you can reduce it incrementally until you spend most of your day not caught up in thinking, entering bliss .

6. Thinking Clouds Clarity

When life feels unclear or overwhelming, it's because thinking is stirring up the dirt—recognize that's your signal to ease up .

7. Feeling Is Created by Thought

We only ever feel what we think; changing our feelings means shifting our thinking—or stopping it .

8. Flooded Mind Blocks the New

If your mind is fully occupied with old, unwanted thoughts, there's no room for new, positive ones to emerge .

9. Reality in the Present Moment

The only true view of reality is in the present moment; active thinking pulls us into the past or future, neither of which exist now .

10. When Thinking Stops, Happiness Begins

A central insight: the moment we stop thinking is when our happiness begins .

11. Thoughts Not Facts

Just because a thought enters your mind doesn’t make it a fact .

12. Accrued Faith

Faith that things will be okay lets us trust that the Universe is working for us, offering relief from anxious thinking .

13. Quicksand of Thoughts

Resisting negative thinking is like sinking in quicksand: the harder you struggle, the deeper you sink .

14. Thoughts Create Reality

While thought is not reality, it's through thinking that we create our subjective experience of reality .

15. We Are Already Enough

Rather than improving ourselves, the path is to let go of the illusion that we’re not already enough .

16. Feelings From Within

External objects don’t create feelings—only our thinking does. External things may prompt it, but we generate the feeling ourselves .

17. You’re One Thought Away

If we know we're only ever one thought away from changing our experience, it empowers us to recognize the transformative potential in a single pause .

18. Human Experience: Three Principles

Nguyen draws on Sydney Banks’ Three Principles: Universal Mind, Consciousness, and Thought—together they create our experience .

19. Buddha’s Two Arrows

As a reader shared: the first arrow is a painful event; the second arrow—our reaction—is optional. Recognizing this illustrates the power of not believing every thought .

20. Allow Thoughts to Pass

Several readers note the book advises not swapping negative thoughts with positive ones, but rather letting thoughts pass and staying present .
