That's what I think many days, it's like I just want to not think not talk just reflect on my past thoughts and actions to see where I fucked up.
Not really, reflection for myself was a growth experience allow me to honestly sort my mind out and say "well that's a stupid idea I have been following or that information is fake and this would be a better way to think"
I ended up in a week or 2 maturing more than the entire 10 years before tossing out shit I learned or used defensively as a child that did not belong in a grown mans brain. We should all look at ourselves honestly aka brutally if needed and toss the shit and fear based info that is on no use and only keep the stuff that is useful.
Now when you find shit info then your next step is to find something truthful and I mean really search online for me and then over and over practice even out loud telling yourself that new info.
Even if needed take the old info conversations and replace the old words or word with the new info and say it out loud or read it over and over till you can catch yourself if you slip and use the old one or are about to and then make yourself do it again if needed.
This should be done regularly or when you really notice your words do not match the reality of what your brain is telling you is right and what is not right.
I used to have and still to a point accepting a thing I thought I knew about. Now if I am unsure or don't remember how I know I look it up and do a few links to pages not one source till I have at least a basic understanding. If not then I go deeper into the basics of what it is and learn the foundations till I can then understand the more complete concept. I still skip this when I'm tired and try to do it when I remember or I just pass on that if I can and avoid it all together.
