in my experience, thinking stimulates parts of the body (for me usually in the skin or muscles). Ceasing thinking is like stopping such stimulations and allowing new ones to form, but I want to keep them as they are because I'm comfortable with it the way it is, so I don't want to do something as strenuous as not thinking. so then whenever I get serious I have to go through withdrawals away from various kinds of sensations I've come to like into things I'm not yet familiar with.
For me it is very much, like trying not to smoke after I've become addicted. And it isn't the thinking that does it it is all the side effects I've learned to attach to what is going on my head.
