However, I have found that more and more of the time I can be mindful of what I think and feel, regardless.

That did not use to be the case, and it is still not easy for me to make the distinction between thinking what I want and saying what I want.

Don't quite understand. "Thinking" is personal, private, unheard by others. "Saying" (if you're not talking to yourself) is meant to communicate something to others. Not easy?

Take care!
