I recently overheard a conversation in which two people were discussing intrusive thoughts. “Oh god, I get them all the time,” said person one. My brain is always telling me I'm not good enough, or this and that are going to happen”. " Isn't that negative thinking?” Person two replied. That got me thinking: Do people really know the difference, and do I? 

In the interests of finding new ways to settle my mind, I thought I'd try a gong bath.

Relaxing is not something I do very well, even during the times I consider my most relaxed, I'm like a snoozing dog. To the onlooker, I'm out for the count, but in reality, I'm ready to pounce at the slightest noise.
