A few of the things our minds are constantly doing include:
- Judging whether something is good or bad
- Labeling things — pleasant, unpleasant, unhappy, unfair, idiotic
- Judging whether we’re good or bad, whether other people are good or bad
- Getting caught up in a narrative about something that happened earlier
- Getting caught up in fantasy or worry about what might happen later
- Getting caught up in a story about what’s happening now, why it should or shouldn’t happen
These things also get us irritated, frustrated, angry, sad, worried, anxious. These are not terrible things, but they come from these commentary habits of the mind.
