A curious encounter!
Most everyone has compulsive thinking. Some people may not be aware of it though.
Is there a voice in your head that continuously complains...labels...dislikes...looks for ways to feel good...obsesses...judges...attaches itself to something which then causes you pain because you long for it...makes up stories that scare you...and so on.
Unfortunately, we're used to living this way...
...it causes unnecessary pain and drains our energy
...it distorts how the world really is
...the world is softer and kinder than you may know
...don't settle for being "lost in thought".
open your mind to change...there's no magic wand...but with strong determination...there's hope.
For today, practice doing one thing at a time...give your full attention to what you're doing.
If your mind chatters, observe it...but don't buy into the chatter...the stories...the nonsense.
80-90% of your thoughts are false...it's the mind tricking you...don't live a false life.
