We are generally taught in life to lead with our thinking. This is not necessarily a problem, but we tend to over-do it, but thinking is generally based on partial evidence. Sometimes thinking takes you further down the rabbit hole of difficulty and anxiety. Sokuzan talks about how to train your mind to strengthen the awareness so that when you go into a situation you lead with your awareness rather than a group of thoughts based on hope and fear.
