What if I told you that the voice in your head isn’t really you? For most of us, our thoughts run the show. We wake up, think “I can’t do this,” and immediately believe it’s true. But here’s the truth: your thoughts are not facts, they’re just mental events. In this episode, I break down the psychology, brain science, and even the spiritual wisdom behind separating yourself from your thoughts.You’ll learn:- Why cognitive defusion (ACT therapy) helps you stop fusing with negative self-talk.- How the brain’s Default Mode Network creates constant background noise.- The difference between your thinking self and your observing self (and why that’s life-changing).- Practical tools to help you detach from unhelpful mental chatter.This realization is freeing: you are not the chatter in your head, just the one who notices it. Once you understand that, you open up space for choice, creativity, and peace.
