Struggled not to drift off to sleep tbh. When I did observe it was a lot of random thoughts passing by

My mind raced as usual. I did imagine myself sitting with my legs crossed on a chair. Whatever my mind was thinking about, I imagine that as a bubble floating in space that I was looking at. I had an interesting reaction to really separating myself from my thoughts. I actually started to feel my face twitch and my lips twitch as well. Almost as if my mind was surprised that I was being able to separate myself from it. It was a cool experience.
The monkey mind kept switching from one thing to another, sometimes striking at worries and concerns making it difficult to be just a detached observer.
That once it started to calm down, I got really physically tense like I had to keep it calm even though I wasn’t saying that to myself. The mind itself went from one thing to trying to be a perfect meditator. I felt that tension resolve when the ensuing blame game ran out of steam all on its own.

It was much quieter than the last time I did this session.
My thoughts were still there in the end but somehow in a calmer, more ordered way.
Feel calmer
I was constantly speaking to myself. One thought to another. Old memories started to come in too. In all, my mind was all over the place.
My mind was very busy thinking about the future and present, what needs to be done etc, i tried observing it but it was too distracting, I need more practice

I was impressed how still I was able to get my mind and observing moments when it spun off into a tangent then bringing it back to stillness.
My thoughts definitely started to seem more ridiculous as the practice went on.
It was like cleaning
Thoughts were bouncing around everywhere but it felt good to observe with an open mind
The thoughts are truly random worries of my life

It felt like my mind suddenly stopped and there were no thoughts at all. Maybe couldn’t fully step out and observe from side my monkey mind.
I stopped thinking about the past, present, and future, and simply let my mind wander randomly. It felt nice and relaxing.

Definitely felt the mind stop and check out… just present.
As soon as I noticed my mind was wandering and going to random thoughts, they would fade away, and my mind would be blank for a few seconds before it started to think of something else.
Relaxed
My mind keeps trying to figure out problems… even ones that don’t exist.
