Do I still get lost in mental stories ….. Absolutely. The only difference is that now, I know I’m full of shit, back when I was lost, I believed my thoughts were real. Ironically, I made them real.
Now that I’ve accomplished knowing that my thoughts are rubbish, I often think, maybe I should have set my heights higher. LOL, truth is the heights were stellar, but I kept sabotaging myself. That’s what mental stories do!
