Where do our thoughts come from?
• Our brain is like a computer. It is always on. At night, our brain processes and stores all the things we heard or experienced during the day. Even negative experiences are stored in our brain. No one knows exactly where they are stored, but for today’s lesson we will call it our mind dump.

Just like bad odors sometimes drift up from a garbage dump and we become aware of the smell, sometimes negative thoughts drift into our conscious mind and we become aware of them
