Observing Thoughts: For Overthinking And Negative Thinking

One of the most important things that we can learn from meditation is how to relate to our thoughts. Instead of seeing our worries, doubts, and self-criticism as facts, we can learn to see that they are just... thoughts. So we don't have to let them control us. One of the most effective techniques for developing this new relationship with thoughts is to simply observe them, as though they were images on a screen or words on the radio. Try this meditation, and begin the process for yourself.
