Experiment 003Ready to try

Thought

You had a thought. That doesn’t mean you have to follow it.

Hypothesis

A thought can be watched instead of followed.

Duration

2 minutes

The method

Notice the next thought that shows up.

Don’t change it. Don’t argue with it. Don’t swap it for a nicer one.

Instead of “I’m failing,” try “I’m having the thought that I’m failing.”

You can start anywhere.
