LEARNING TO OBSERVE THOUGHTS
Learn how to observe thoughts WITHOUT reacting or getting caught up can help you, particularly if you tend to replay the same types of thoughts in your head over and over. What do I mean by that? Let's say you tend to replay a negative experience - making a bad experience last much longer. That habit doesn't help you. Learn how to observe through meditation to reveal these mental habits--like replaying bad experiences, worrying about future events, analyzing and self-judging past behavior. Meditation practices like this can help you gain insight into these habits so you can let go of what doesn't serve or help you.
