You also don’t have to believe everything “your thought produces”. It’s very common to have thoughts that are tied to old patterns of thinking, rather than new ones you are cultivating. For example, many of us have internalized racist or transphobic attitudes. Through life, learning and experience we have come to change our minds. However, we can’t help that sometimes we have a reactive thought based in our old conditioning. You don’t simply ignore such thoughts, you address them rationally. Over time, they diminish. This is part of growth.
