If we pay attention to our thoughts, we will discover that 90 percent of them are gibberish. The problem is, this gibberish controls what we think, how we feel and what we do. Conditioned thinking is why we are so often angry and unhappy.

We can loosen the grip of our conditioned thoughts by bringing our attention to them without judgment. By becoming aware of our thinking, its ability to control us lessens. Once we realize that so much of our thoughts and beliefs are stale, silly and do not reflect what we want ourselves to be, we can release them.
Let's release our attachment to compulsive thinking by becoming aware of it.

I agree 100% Phillip. I was actually reading "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle today and he said something really similar.
Once you observe your thoughts without judgment ,something deeper is allowed to come through.

What sound advice, especially the part about bringing attention to our thoughts without judgment. I am often aware of what I'm thinking, but my awareness comes with judgment or self-critique.
