361. Are you a "Watcher"? (I hope so)

Have you ever driven to work and don’t have any idea how you actually got there because you’re on autopilot you were so in your head. So lost in your thoughts?  It’s scary isn’t it?  How about having full conversations with someone in your head arguments and conflicts that are made up or maybe subtle unconscious thoughts about your weight or your hair or your looks in general…all without really being aware of those thoughts they are just looming all the time.  We do it a lot. Get so lost in our thoughts that we are completely in our head and on autopilot in the outside world.  That’s why I think it’s a really really good idea to be able to know what’s going on in your head.  When studies show that we have 70,000 thoughts a day 80% of which are negative… I think that’s good to know. No wonder we walk around mad, or hurt, disgusted with ourself or scared all the time. Our brain is literally doing that to us and we don’t even know it.  Why am I having an argument in my head with someone over something they did 5 years ago or why am I having negative thoughts about someone I love and what is that doing to my life? We have thoughts about our partner. We have thoughts about ourself. We have thoughts about our job or our friend or our family ALL THE TIME. And if 80% of them are negative it’s no wonder we feel miserable more often than not.  It’s because our thoughts are affecting every single thing we do.  That’s why we have to become a watcher.
