Hi Erin,
Great to see that you able to acknowledge areas in your practice that are offering challenge. Little tip is to not judge the thoughts and even more so, to not associate with them. Think of the brain as just another organ like the heart. It is designed to receive information, process, store and then transmit thoughts and commands. Consider these random, wandering thoughts as merely a conversation that your brain is having with the Self. When we discover how we can disassociate with thoughts, we no longer become bound to them.
So when thoughts flow in, don't judge, don't analyze. Just observe their nature and relevance. Breathe into those thoughts and remember that this is just a conversation. As you breathe out, allow the thoughts to flow away (instead of pushing them away) if they have no relevance to the moment. By having this conversation, we allow questions to surface and truths to unfold. Pushing away thoughts often buries truths.
Explore this conversation, disassociate and allow to be free from attachments to these thoughts. It can become a wonderful journey.
Namaste,
Kreg
