It’s hard to detach and watch the stream of thoughts. I found myself accidentally immersing into them
I found myself engaged in my thoughts but realized I had to detach and be in the moment.
It was hard to detach and see my thoughts, rather than get immersed in them
I did the 15 minute session and around halfway I managed to get into it but I couldn’t help but focus on the days tasks
Today felt like the mind was blank. Maybe I was able to detach for a moment which is a win.
Just random thoughts, no particular order. I am mostly worrying about what I will do later
My mind always tries to solve my problems. And when I meditate more so. Because meditating is a thing I’m doing to solve a problem
A good reminder of how my mind is always thinking about something, and I appreciated giving myself permission to just let it think.

My monkey mind has a lot of destructive thoughts but it is ultimately trying to protect me.
My mind is busy and crowded and this helps a lot
I’m on holiday now and noticed how much calmer the mind was compared to the last time I did this exercise - I should go on holiday more often or just try to relax more
I let it go over the problems and issue I’m facing and let it go though them like a book turning pages
I’ve noticed the more I do this activity the less active my monkey mind has been
I have a meditation practice so I did not much other than how far I have come since I started.
When trying to observe it it went quiet, it felt peaceful
I was quite distraught about work and life in general
A lot of bouncing around thought!
It was quite interesting. I observed thoughts of insecurities from my subconscious(monkey mind) and felt my conscious monologue trying to shed some positivity or justification/normalise, though will not much effectiveness as I find negative thoughts are so much stronger than positive. Then I would think something positive and have my monkey mind cast more negativity and spin the positive thought as if I am naively trying to nullify the aforementioned insecurity. My mind really tries to fuck me. Then I different parts I was relaxed and in almost a dream like state, with unrealistic visions neither negative or positive.
Bouncing from problem to problem but then random thoughts. It seemed to make the realization that those problems were not as dire which helped
Apart from hearing a few noises around the house, my mind was surprisingly quiet and inactive.
