Hi Kenny I'll be quick as we have run out of time. We have thoughts all the time and we usually label them as good or bad. Buddhist theory states the mind is continually shifting from craving to aversion (I want more of that or I want to avoid that). The important point to note is thoughts are not facts, they are not living things they are what exists in your mind. Throughout your life you have developed beliefs about thoughts, many of which are socially constructed. I guess the point is don't get caught up onto the story of the thought. If you are sitting and you feel pain, instead of thinking there is a pain in my foot (leading to avoidance) become curious about it and explore it deeper.
