A short YouTube clip (a #short) by Betsy Guerra offering a quick technique for disengaging from intrusive or distressing thoughts. Guerra uses the metaphor "thoughts are like people" and advises acknowledging unwanted thoughts kindly and then choosing to move on rather than engaging with them, framed as a way to protect peace, sleep, and well-being.

Are your thoughts driving you crazy? Are they robbing you of your peace? Of your sleep? Are they not allowing you to be your best self and you're anxious and you're stressed out? Well, I have news for you. If you follow this trick, you can disengage from those thoughts that are not serving you. Thoughts are like people. The same way that if you're out on the street, you can't control who you see. You can't always control what thoughts enter your mind. But what you do have power over is what you choose to do with those people and those thoughts. If you find someone on the street that does not make you happy, you can always acknowledge them kindly and go your merry way. You don't have to stop and talk to them or hang out with them. The same is true with your thoughts. You can choose to acknowledge and welcome them and move forward.
