"Shoot, I can't remember her name. What's her name?
Riya, here she is. What is this… Priya… Shreya?
She told me yesterday. What's the matter with me?
This is going to be embarrassing." Is." If you haven't noticed, there's a mental dialogue going on inside your mind that never stops. It just keeps going.
Have you ever wondered why it talks there?
And if right now you're hearing, "I don't know what you're talking about. There's no voice inside my head!"—that's the voice we're going to talk about in today's post.
Staying with you is the New York Times best-selling book "The Untethered Soul" by Michael A. Singer.
Smart Idea :1 So without further ado, let's get started
Sometimes when you're driving, you hear inner conversations like, “Shouldn't I have called Sid? I should be. Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot! He's going to be so mad.
He may never speak to me again. Maybe I should stop and call him now. No, I don't want to stop the car right now..." Notice that the voice carries both sides of the conversation.
It doesn't matter which way it goes, as long as the conversation continues. When you're tired. When you're done and trying to sleep, it's the voice inside your head that says, “What am I doing?
I still can't sleep. I forgot to call Sid. I missed it in the car but didn't call. If I don't call now… oh wait, it's too late. I shouldn't call him now. I don't even know why I thought of that. I need to sleep.
Oh shoot, now I can't sleep. I'm not tired anymore. But I have a big day tomorrow, and I have to get up early. No wonder you can't sleep! Why do you tolerate that voice talking to you all the time?
Even if what it's saying is comforting and nice, it's still disturbing everything you do. If you spend some time observing this mental voice, the first thing you'll notice is that Smart Idea 2 never stops.
When left to itself, it just talks.
Smart Idea 2: Your mental voice keeps changing
Imagine if you see someone constantly talking to you. You thought he was weird. You may wonder, "If he is the one talking and the one listening, then he obviously knows what he is going to say before he says it. What's the point?"
The same goes for the voice inside your head. Why is it talking?
It is you who is talking, and it is you who is listening. And when the voice argues with itself, who is it arguing with?
Who can win?
It gets very confusing. Just listen: "I think I should get married. No! You know you're not ready. You'll be sorry. But I love her. Oh come on, that's how you feel about Anya."
"If you had married him?" If you look closely, you'll see that it's just trying to find a comfortable place to rest. If it helps, it will turn around in an instant.
And when he finds out it's wrong, he doesn't shut up either. It just adjusts its approach and keeps going.
Smart Idea 3: Step Back and Observe Your Mental Voice Objectively
It's actually a startling feeling when you first realize that your mind is constantly talking. You might even try yelling at him in a feeble attempt to shut him up.
But then you realize that it is the same voice that is shouting at the voice: "Shut up! I want to sleep. Why do you need to talk all the time?" Obviously, you can't turn it off like that. The best way to free yourself from this constant yelling is to step back and look at it objectively.
Just think of voice as a vocalization mechanism that is able to make it appear as if someone is speaking to you. Don't think about it; Just notice it. It doesn't matter what the voice is saying, it's all the same.
It doesn't matter if it is saying good things or mean things, worldly things or spiritual things. It doesn't matter because it's still just a voice talking in your head.
In fact, the only way to distance yourself from this voice is to stop distinguishing what it is saying. So now let's summarize all the smart ideas we learned from today's video. Smart Idea -
- 1: Your mental voice never stops
- 2: Your mental voice keeps changing
- 3: Step back and look at your mental voice objectively
