The idea behind watching your thoughts is not just to be aware of the negative ones, and then suppress them, or ignore them, or try to fix them. What you will find when you become an impartial observer to your thoughts, is that you will start to relax automatically because you aren't identifying with them.Your stress will start to leave. Stress busters come in many forms, but when you relax, and you become an impartial observer to your (both negative and positive) thoughts, you reduce stress and have inner peace. Simply see your thoughts as just words, waves on the ocean, whether they are positive or negative words or sentences. It doesn't matter to you, because you are no longer attached when you observe them.
What you will find, may be surprising. There will be thoughts of raw emotions and prejudices that surface that you had no idea were there before. Why? Because previously you have been covering them up, trying to be a "good person," with "perfect thoughts." You didn't let yourself see them. Don't fight the thoughts. Don't berate yourself, or question why those thoughts are there. Observe them, and allow them to pass.
Our thoughts come from our perceptions and beliefs about the world and our self images we try to protect. They come from our parents, our friends, the news, politicians, and just anywhere you can imagine. If you try to change your perception, that's a lot of hard work, which will just attach you more to your thoughts. There is an easier way, just tune in and observe them. Be aware when your thoughts come and go. Once observed, they will automatically leave on their own. You don't have to try to stop them, which you can't do anyway. Allow yourself to melt into that space between your thoughts. This is where you will find happiness and freedom.
