Let me tell you my experience – every time I talk, the mind already knows what I want to say. The mind has thought about what to talk and how to explain. Awareness already knows the process. If I try to be mindful, the thinking process stops.
In our daily life, without thinking, without planning or ideas, you cannot do anything. Even during eating, the mind already plans what to do and what to eat. Also, without thinking, you cannot talk.
Just know – just know whenever thinking is happening. Later, it becomes a habit that whenever thoughts arise, awareness is also present. You need to practice to this level; then awareness is not lost when the mind is thinking.
When awareness becomes a habit we don’t have to force to be aware – then, experience mind does its job; awareness does its job. At that time, awareness and thinking are happening together.
