Acknowledging an unhealthy thought pattern is a little like appeasing someone who wants to get your attention in some way. If you ignore them or push them away, they may keep coming back until their needs are met. When you acknowledge your mind, even while it is not operating in a functional or helpful way, you are immediately taking control of your thought patterns. You are saying to your mind, ‘OK, I see you are there and I’m acknowledging you.’ Automatically you take back a little control and break old patterns.
