The New Way of Thinking About Thoughts

Ama is shown a book that represents all the painful thoughts she has in her brain. She learns to control where you place your attention, and when a disturbing thought comes intoyour brain, you learn how to just let it float by without ever engaging it. The idea is you don't engage the bad ones. They're not you. There's no good reason to focus on them. Just find the thoughts that are helpful, that help you to live the life that you want to live. Keep those thoughts in front of you, and the rest just let float away.
