Unification of mind: a unified and blissful mind has no reason to chase worldly desires.
Aversion: a negative mental state involving judgement, rejection, and denial. Includes: hatred, anger, resentment, dissatisfaction, criticism, impatience, self-accusation, and boredom.
Pleasure/Happiness: There's little room for negativity in a mind filled with bliss.
Laziness and Lethargy: Laziness appears when the cost of an activity seems to outweigh the benefits. Lethargy manifests as lack of energy, procrastination, and low motivation.
Directed attention: In meditation, 'just do it' means directing attention to the meditation object to counter procrastination and loss of mental energy.
Agitation due to Remorse and Worry: Remorse for unwise, unwholesome, immoral or illegal activities. Worry about consequences for past actions, or about things you imagine might happen to you. Worry and remorse make it hard to focus mental resources on anything else.
Meditative joy: Joy overcomes worry because it produces confidence and optimism. Joy overcomes remorse because a joyful person regrets past harms and is eager to set things right.
Doubt: A biased, unconscious mental process focused on negative possible outcomes; the kind of uncertainty that makes us hesitate and keeps us from making the effort needed to validate something through our own experience. Self-doubt saps our will and undermines intentions.
Sustained attention: This is achieved through consistent effort. Success leads to trust, and doubt disappears.
