- Sensual desire (sight/touch/taste/smell/hearing) = Am I addicted?
- Ill will / aversion = Am I feeling a negative emotion?
- Dullness / heaviness = Am I unmotivated?
- Restlessness = Is my mind jumping from though to thought?
- Sceptical doubt = Am I indecisive?

Accept that’s what you’re experiencing
Investigate why you’re experiencing it
