You Don’t Have to Believe Everything You Think | How to Guard Your Mind

Have you ever stopped in the middle of a thought and wondered, “Why did I just think that?”

Maybe you're replaying an old conversation, imagining something that hasn't happened, thinking negatively about yourself, or spending more time in your imagination than the life happening in front of you.
