A talk on recognizing and quieting the constant chatter in your head. The key is developing awareness of your self-talk rather than trying to force it away. Once you notice the voice, you're already separate from it.
Another question. What is the key to stop the self talk in the head? Well, just briefly, because I've spoken about that a few times on various occasions. First of all, you need to know that there is self talk in the head. Not after several hours of being totally immersed in self talk in the head and suddenly you get a moment of reprieve and then you say, oh, there was so much self talk in that in order to become free, you need to know that there's self talk in the head while there's self talk in the head. Otherwise there's just self talk in the head without any awareness. There needs to be a glimpse of awareness, and from there you can see that you want to be free of it, and that's not who you are. It.
