    As other people are saying, that’s the point of meditation.

    I just started a book, The Art of Living, by Thich Nhat Hahn and he claims that most people don’t choose to think their thoughts, thoughts just appear, just like the wind on a rainy day. You can’t stop the wind from blowing and you can’t stop thoughts from appearing.

    The point of meditation is to learn not to ‘think’ the thoughts that appear.

    By tue way I did try this for a year and while i do get the point of it I did not succeed yet.

    I hope you’re well though!

      My brain does not work the way it should. My thoughts are generally something I am capable of controlling.
