When you take care of the 'gross' mental masturbation, the ones that are obvious to see, ie: "She sent me this text, does it mean she is coming back" type thinking, then you start to see the more subtle levels of it. One of those subtle levels is the mind trying to convince itself it has a different intention other than trying to figure everything out in an attempt to predict what IS going on and what WILL happen. I pointed out a subtle one in that post.
Feel good. It means you have progressed far enough to not get caught by the big and obvious mind games. As you learn to nip the more subtle ones, and repetition and vigilance is key here, your mind will become calmer and calmer and your ability to just 'we'll see' and stay in the NOW will get stronger and stronger. Believe me, I'm going through it right now and continue to work on cutting out the compulsion to know what IS and what WILL BE.
You're doing great.
