The most immediately wonderful and helpful thing I got from my formal Orthodox catechesis, was the idea that *I am not the sum of my thoughts* and that it is possible, through prayer, study, and discernment, to tell the difference between the thoughts that are actually mine (surprisingly few, really), and the interlopers, and start spotting some of the more harmful ones while they're still incoming, and just stand back and let them fly on by.
