I used to have a racing mind with a negative narrator. I identified with the thoughts and believed they were me. Lots of anxiety and depression from thinking about the past and worrying about the future
After listening to Eckhart Tolle "The Power of Now" and a bunch of power of attraction videos from Aaron Abke i was observing my thoughts and had a negative thought but realized it wasn't me, it's just an auto program triggered by situations. for some reason i yelled out loud "no more negative thoughts" My mind went silent like a zen master with "beginners mind" and has been like that for 4 years now.
It has brought me immense peace and contentment in my life. It's like a sports person being "in the zone" like a constant state of meditation.
It's just the unsolicited negative narrative that's gone but my memory is fine... Without that i don't get dragged into the past and get depressed or worry about the future and get anxiety. I used to have trouble falling asleep because my mind would race when i lay down sometimes for hours but now i sleep within minutes.
I don't think in words anymore it is more like all images. i live in the present moment and it's like heaven on earth , A silent mind is the end of suffering.
Also a side effect of peace and contentment is a drastic loss of desire for material things.
Just my experience , All the gurus say don't confront your thoughts when you observe them but i didn't know that then and it just happened , seems like a cheat code to peace but it might also be preventing any further self reflection as i have no more thoughts to observe
