If we think false things about ourselves, they seem true because we think them. When we are hurting, we are more prone to think negative thoughts. Observing our thoughts helps us decide if they are true or not. If we just think our thoughts without observing, we believe them without any critical analysis. Observing thoughts with compassion exposes and changes damaging thought habits. — zenmister
