In this solo segment of the "Overthinking" podcast, the host reflects on how excessive rumination creates a distorted self‑image based on imagined judgments from others. He points out that while we obsess over what others think, most people are preoccupied with their own lives and rarely focus on us. To combat this, he describes the concept of the "monkey mind"—a restless, overactive mental habit—and shares a personal approach to retrain it: practicing mindfulness by deliberately choosing the media we consume, the conversations we engage in, and the messages we send, thereby reducing the fuel for overthinking.
