Maybe, but I don't think there are any thoughts I'm "not allowed to think", that's not how I live my life. Thoughts come up and I analyse them, believing myself intellectually competent enough to elucidate myself a bit, and emotionally competent enough to deal with the "final answer" of that train of thought. In much knowledge there's much sorrow, yes, but personally I'd rather know than not know, almost always (can't really make accurate predictions or plans with data I know is either false or incomplete, right?).
What happens if you don't think but only aware the thoughts that come by themselves?
Mmm, like not going down the rabbit hole, just letting the thought pass? I do that sometimes, when I know I'm gonna spiral out of control and lose it due to something small/nonexistent. I've gotten much more successful at it (thank God) but that's still a struggle. It's rare though, I'm very zen with everything and everyone besides my poor wife, although she's acknowledged and appreciated the recent positive change! 🦾
Guided meditation is a game changer for me, fwiw
