I don't think there's really a "correct" way of thinking. It's great that you are feeling so good at this point.
I think for me I had to be aware. I had to be mindful and not forget where I'd come from. I have to watch out that I don't get blindsided by strange feelings or situations. On the whole though, it does get easier over time. Sometimes quicker sometimes slower.
Keep it up. Good Cheer and a positive attitude help immeasurably.
