I'm doing a review paper on mind wandering for a cognitive neuroscience class, and i came across this article:

QuoteWe developed a smartphone technology to sample people’s ongoing thoughts, feelings, and actions and found (i) that people are thinking about what is not happening almost as often as they are thinking about what is and (ii) found that doing so typically makes them unhappy.
Might be obvious for a lot of people, but i never really thought about how all i think about when i'm not doing anything is shit that sucks and trying to solve it. And it's not like that accomplishes anything, either.
Kind of sad how we focus on negativity so much :(

use cbt to not think about negativity
i've been doing this on a more amateur level over the last year
certain things that i think about have no merit, so i move on
but then i will get really high and have a breakdown sometimes
