Listen Later

There is a constant stream of thoughts running through the mind commentary, judgments, plans, and stories that never seem to stop. This inner voice follows us everywhere, narrating our lives and reacting to every moment. Often, we assume this voice is who we are, yet we rarely question where it comes from or who is actually listening.
