“Leave your front door and your back door open.
Let thoughts come and go. Just don’t serve them tea.”
~Shunryu Suzuki

My two cents: We have a choice, let our minds continually fill with thoughts or carve out some time when we are focused and empty of thought.
Remember these thoughts carry emotions and moods with them.
Please discount all but your directed thoughts then explore the emotions attached from a distance.
We do not give up thought or emotion, we just explore how they arrive and the impact they have on our happiness.
For me this has a two fold purpose, first my happier moments are absent of thought and emotion and second when my mind is in crisis, I can focus, let go and escape my minds dysfunction.
Next time worry, doubt, resentment, jealousy, or anger grabs you, take a breath, feel the body sensation, then let go.
Remember front door and back door are open.
