Did you ever realize that most of the thoughts that we have each day are thoughts we’ve already had before? We have an internal running commentary that goes on throughout the day almost like a psychotic roommate that is endlessly just there, narrating in the background.

Let’s take a typical thought pattern that we can all relate to. Say you have been sticking to our food plan religiously (for the thousandth time) and you find yourself super stressed. You fight it for a bit but before you know it you end up fist deep in a bag of chips. The old thought pattern may have said “Well I have anyway messed up my diet so I might as well just finish this bag of chips and start again tomorrow” – classic! We have all had this thought at some point or another – probably without even thinking about it! It literally just shows up, gets a pass, and we behave accordingly.
