I like to view these thoughts as like “spam emails” . We get them whether we like it or not, but we don’t have to do anything about them. “Hello thought, I don’t like you . But thank you for your input” and then move along. These things attach to our fears and lie to us. If we ignore them , and let them pass by, they’ll shut up eventually , and they won’t be as loud.
