You are not your thoughts from "summary" of Summary of The Power of Now by Summareads Media
Your thoughts are not who you are. They are simply a product of your conditioning and past experiences. When you observe your thoughts, you are not caught up in them. You are able to see them for what they truly are - just thoughts passing through your mind. By identifying with your thoughts, you are creating a false sense of self. You are not your thoughts, but the awareness behind them. When you realize this, you are able to detach from your thoughts and not let them control you. You are the silent observer, the awareness that is always present. When you stop identifying with your thoughts, you are able to free yourself from the constant chatter in your mind. You can experience a sense of peace and clarity that comes from being present in the moment. Your thoughts no longer define who you are, but rather they become background noise that you can choose to engage with or let go of. When you are able to separate yourself from your thoughts, you can start to live in the present moment. You are no longer burdened by the past or anxious about the future. You can fully experience life as it unfolds, without being clouded by the constant stream of thoughts in your mind.- You are not your thoughts. You are the awareness that is always present, always observing. When you realize this truth, you can free yourself from the limitations of your mind and experience the true essence of who you are.
