Free Yourself From None Stop Mental Noise
The persistent, non-stop, anxiety-inducing mental narration plagues every waking moment.
It attaches to your brain like a life-sucking leach. Just sit back and watch your mind go into overdrive. Most of us would be perfect candidates for an insane asylum if we vocalized all our mental chatter. Its purpose is to help make sense of what’s going on around you.
If you give it more time, your mind will never stop.
You re-create the world inside your mind because that’s within your control.
And boy, do we all love a little control.
The world, on the other hand, is not within your control.
“That is why you mentally talk about it. If you can’t get the world the way you like it, you internally verbalize it, judge it, complain about it, and then decide what to do about it. This makes you feel more empowered,”
writes David Singer in his book The Untethered Soul.
