“Look into the stories, fantasies, fabrications, desires, aversions, reactions, and doubts that periodically occupy your thoughts.
Notice what your mind conjures up in the first moments after waking up in the morning—that period between waking and breakfast is a fascinating window into your habitual thought patterns.
Where does your mind go when you sit down for a few moments to rest without the distractions of radio or TV?
Take ten minutes now and lie down on your bed watching the mind without falling asleep.
What patterns of thought dominate?
Where does your mind wander when it is not directed by the structure of a task?
Can you identify your habitual thinking pattern?
Is it blame? memory? fantasies of success? complaining? worry? insecurities about finances, relationships, opinions, self-image? are you planning your next activity?”
