Loved this one!

There's that quote, something like "THe mind makes an excellent servant but a terrible master. That's what I think of when you were saying to notice your thoughts

Notice the true nature of thoughts – they are words or images in your mind.
Notice the actual process of thinking – recognize that thoughts do not dictate behaviors.

It's a challenging thing to do consistently if your typical response is to follow your thoughts and let them lead you where they want. A big step is even noticing them.

Great write-up man! Such a good topic and applies across the board in life.
