My mind favors what is easy, new, recent, evokes positive feelings, and what is available. The things my mind privileges are unreliable indicators of the best course of action at any point in life. They likely lead into old patterns of thought and behavior. I'm the Arnold Schwarzenegger of rehashing my reaction to the same old things in the same old ways.

The average person thinks 60,000 thoughts a day, about 1 per second. But 80% of them are the same thoughts as yesterday.

Shocking! Here I was going around believing I am a curious, engaged individual thinking novel, interesting thoughts. Nope! Just the same old garbage, day in and day out.

I'm going to try and repeat myself less. This will require thinking about thinking??
