When your thoughts are running, what are you thinking of?
Of yourself, right?
That is inward thinking. When thoughts go inward, it is like a
blackhole, it absorbs everything, become heavy, and makes you
letargic and anti-social
Turn your thoughts around. Look at things and think. Focus on
things or events outside of yourself. Thats why it is
important to get a hobby, or be an expert at one thing, so that
your thoughts are focused on that thing and away from yourself.
Try it, you will feel immediate relief. Continue until it
becomes second nature.
Won't change much of who you are, but will make your mind free,
and you will feel better. And see how it goes.
