What does it mean when people say “you are not your thoughts”?

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it for a while now, and yeah, you are the conscious being that hears your thoughts, but how “deep” does that conscience go?

It’s in my opinion a really over reduced statement to just say “you are not your thoughts”. But it’s implying that we are our thoughts, our feelings and our actions. If we only behave as if our thoughts are the only thing to us, then we live in our head and when we get negative thoughts we are more easily consumed by that negative thinking. The same can be said about our feelings and our actions. You are not your feelings. And you are not your actions. But all of these things are what we are and it’s how we make the use of them all to keep balance in our lives.
