    Little tip for all others getting a 24/7 stream of this trash: do not fight them, instead “dismiss” them. “This is a useless thought, Maybe later, I will think about it tomorrow, etc.” The more resistance and discipline you present, the stronger the next ones are. By dismissing them, you take their energy away and protect your own mental energy, as they are now super easy to get rid of. Don’t think hard mental discipline, let them come and dismiss them, it is still an active thing, but simpler and lower resistance, kind of like Zen meditation.

    Edit: typo

      24/7 stream of this trash

      Why should we want them gone? They’re fun!

      Imagine being horrified of your own thoughts. They’re you. Just welcome them & delight in their wild machinations.
