Auctioning thoughts/feelings

The Auction

Based on a metaphor submitted to ACBS by joshua.ruberg

Imagine you’re at an auction where your thoughts and feelings are being sold off. You’re allowed to inspect the lots before the auction begins. You can spend some time looking at each item and thinking about how you might use it. When the auction begins, you sit down and the bidding begins. Nice, positive thoughts come up first, and then later more difficult thoughts/emotions.

Which thoughts/emotions do you want to bid on and how much are you willing to pay for them? How much are you paying for them right now?
