I've been thinking lately that faculty in life largely comes from understanding what your brain/biology is trying to do without your explicit sanction, and where thoughts come from and what they're trying to do is an important part of that that I never had any real insight into other than just trying to watch it as it randomly comes up with things... This really helps me fill in a piece of that puzzle, thank you!!!
That's a great insight, and I think it's true for me and most other people too. Our first-person perspective is pretty much limited to exactly what you say: observe and appreciate the randomness of your thoughts as they happen. Thankfully, scientific studies can occasionally offer some well-tested third-person insights to develop the story!
Love this post, and thank you for the mention.

Let go of wandering thoughts. Those are not the thoughts you want to have. Quiet the mind.
