Re: Techniques we use

I can relate. I have come to see that the biggest problem I have with thoughts is not that they happen so plentifully, but that I have a habit of believing that they are true. 

I sometimes do something similar when I have the presence of mind to do so. I just acknowledge, “oh there goes mind again” and don't believe the “hype” associated with my thoughts. I don't bother trying to stop them because I know they will disappear on their own in time, just like all the others have, and that they have no basis in reality anyway.
