Thank you for the insightful ideas, learning to sitback and relax, then observe, is a skill for everyone to learn.

I would advise 2 more helpful techniques:

Yoga nidra as a perfect tool for being present in your body.

Simply asking yourself: What my next tought is going to be?

Thank you for your tips, Sikieng.

Such a helpful reminder that we can direct our minds and the environment we create for ourselves will shapes how our mind responds. One thing I share with students when I teach about mental health is that we can only hold one thought at a time and if we are thinking something unhelpful, we can focus on replacing it with a helpful thought. This is hard but practice makes it easier.

Great piece. - I know I used to allow those random thoughts to have my full attention. That if they came up then I needed to pay attention to them. The thing is when you give them more attention they grow. But when you do as you say, let them blow by like clouds, you find that they lose their power over you.
