Definitely agree. Every thought reinforces neural pathways; I'm hardly a neuroscientist, but I think it's known that the strongest connections in our mind define much of who we are.
And it's something I have to watch, because oftentimes the most persistent thoughts in my mind are not good ones. I'm focusing on building a sort of "activity monitor" habit where if some mental process is negative and uses resources for no good reason, I suspend it.
It's hard, though—this stuff is insidious.
