Allow it to be there and not give it any value. It’s just a thought.

@Giftyoy It means to allow thoughts to come without reacting to them. Don’t try to avoid the thought, let the thought be there but don’t try to do a compulsion to get the thought out of your mind or to engage in an argument with the thought. You can also agree with the thought or say “maybe” . This is not reacting because you are just accepting

@Giftyoy Yes it’s not easy, but it works. You have to get more comfortable being uncomfortable

No just let it come in and out. Don’t focus on it though. Basically, do nothing.
