I woke up last night a couple of times.

I noticed thoughts about today, things that need to get done.

I'm working on a couple of new projects, so there's a lot of thought activity.

Instead of doing what I would have done years ago and become frustrated,

I simply remembered to look through the thoughts, to look beyond them, to look

over their shoulder. I heard that phrase for the first time, like to look over a

thoughts shoulder back in 2013, reading a book by an author named Galen Sharp.

And the book is What Am I? A Study in Non-Volitional Living.

Beautiful book. I believe kind of laid the path or made it clear for the work that I'm doing today.

So if you have not checked it out, which I am assuming that you have not, because it's a very

little-known book, it's a very powerful book, though. You need to get that gone ahead and

snatch that up today. So yeah, one of the practices in his book, he says to sit quietly,

you know, for like a period of 10 minutes, and every time a thought comes up,

to look over its shoulder. And so I recommend you try that out today at some point.

Even if you're not having excessive racing thoughts, it's still a good thing to practice,

so that when you do, because you will, you'll have one of those moments, we all do.

You'll know what to do, you know, like break glass in case of emergency, like you'll know to go

right to okay, there are thoughts here. Let me look past them. Let me look over them. Let me look

through them. The thoughts come. Like I've said before, they're just another happening on the scene,

just like the chair you're sitting in or the computer in front of you or the phone in your hand,

thoughts are there, but you don't have to pay attention to them. That's the difference. That's

what we're doing. So today's quote ties into this directly. It's from Instagram and author.
