Other work has shown that while the ability of light to produce a phase advance contributes to its clinical efficacy, this is not limited to subjects who are phase delayed to start with.

And notice you haven’t challenged the thought; you haven’t tried to get rid of it, debated whether it’s true or false, or tried to push it away and replace it with a positive thought. So what happened? By taking the thought and putting it to music, you saw its “true nature”; you realized that, like the lyrics of a song, it is nothing more or less than a string of words.
