There is a saying that “no news is good news” which means without information to the contrary you can assume that all is well.

This is the kind of day I am having.
Nothing special.
Nothing exciting.
I woke up a bit late.
It is a bit overcast outside.
Things are quiet.
It's just another mundane Monday.

The calm is good.
Rest is good.
The trouble begins for me if I begin overthinking, like the image quote says and I find to be true “Over Thinking Leads To Negative Thoughts”.
When I have too much time and not enough to do.
Or when I have finished one thing and not yet began another.
When I am taking a rest or trying to relax.
That is when if I am not careful they creep in.
To quote Sméagol: "No! Not! Never! Sméagol hates nasty hobbitses! Sméagol wants to see them… dead!"
The small little negative thoughts are the “nasty hobbitses” in this illustration.
We can not have them in our heads.
They will ruin an otherwise good day, they will.
Instead we are aware of our metacognitions.
Why would I be thinking these things?
What can I think instead?
Why let my day fill up with bad thoughts when it could just as easily be good?
What can I do differently now?
Next time?
This time I will not even let them get a foothold.
