It gets easier with time. Some behaviours we have is like automatic pilot. Bringing self to present, helps to "break" the pattern. With time, and the more you do it, it's like "reprogramming" the mind. We start automatically do the "rational" thinking. Questioning what we think and bringing mind to what is. It takes time and discipline but not impossible.
I hope you find peace and serenity, also 🫂🙌
