these mimpressions help you to create an idea/ impression about yourself andyou tend to believe it and you start according to it . in short you become the idea / impression.this may be good or bad.instead being truly humble you pretend to be humble or confident. Meidtation helps to develop those qulaities and goals rather than just stoppingwith pretence )

How meditation works

types
suppress other thoughts 
focus on a thought just aware
 not thinking about anything

transcdenatal
your thopughts are supressed by re citing a mantra  like auditory masking
When you suffer from internal monologues this may be very useful
theefforts required to suppress other thoughts and become mindful arises spontaneously due to the masking of other sounds by the mantra.\

Mindfulness
Here you try to focus on natural body movements ( breathing and body scanning ) and this tries to become aware of the present. Sine most often it is the past and future thoughts that worry us, being present now itself brings peace and happiness.

Sahaja yoga
hre the mind is allowed to wander and drift completely. Aftera few minutes the mind tries to settle down automatically and peace is attained
