There was a time when excessive smoking and drinking (inebriation) were considered the cultural norm. The "idea" of addiction took a while to gain ground. I think were at a similar stage with Addiction to Thinking. Until there is greater awareness of the problem you will run into scoffing and denial. "Are you saying I have problem?" kinda thing.
Thinking about thinking. Well no shame in that. Personally I'm working on a technique to stop the internal dialogue. It involves taking the focus Out of the head space and into the physical.
Thanks for reading :) Yeah, that would be in keeping with the research. Directly trying to stop thinking about something doesn't really work, but an external focus like with meditation is more effective.
