I believe so. How do I know this? I was like this too, and to this day, any day that I don't meditate in the morning, I continue to feel this way. The mind is by far the least understood thing on planet earth right now.
Even though I can monitor my thoughts when I haven't meditated that day, and know that I'm not the generator of those thoughts, they continue to feel as they were my own throughout the rest of the day, regardless of what I know to be the truth.
Unless I sit in the morning and passively watch these thoughts come and go and reassure myself that I'm not thinking these thoughts time and time again by passively watching my thoughts every morning , that they pop up in my brain the same way hiccups pop up in my life, it feels like I'm the one generating these thoughts and it's easy to get caught up thinking endlessly.

If it's still TL;DR, the gist of it is, you sit cross-legged and pay attention to your breath, and whenever you notice thoughts pop up in your head (and they soon will), you simply exercise your concentration and will by bringing your attention back to your breath, and you repeat this process over and over again.
One thing I've found that works incredibly well for me whenever I don't feel like doing something I know I need to be doing, by the plans I have laid out for my life, is to remember that the present moment is the only real thing that exists. Rather than looking back at the ways I've acted in the past and saying to myself, well that's how I am and always will be, I bring the focus of my attention back to the only real moment that exists, the present moment, and act from there.
I say that the present is the only thing that exists because when you're thinking about the past, you're doing that now, and when the past was occurring, that was now too, and when the future happens, that's now as well, so you can really only every do anything now.
Hope this helps some of you out, and I hope you guys have wonderful days!
