Do you ever feel like your brain just won’t shut up? Like there’s a nonstop stream of worries, reminders, regrets, and what-ifs running on loop? You’re not broken—your brain is just doing what it’s built to do.
In this episode of Sufferless with a Part-Time Monk, Tim Tamashiro explores why our minds feel so loud—and what to do about it. You’ll learn why you’re not your thoughts (you’re the listener, not the broadcaster), how your brain’s fear center gets hijacked in modern life, and what neuroscience and monk-wisdom say about finding peace.
This episode offers simple tools for turning down the noise, shifting from panic to presence, and gently reminding yourself: peace is possible with practice.
🔹 Topics include:
- The "loud roommate" in your head
- How to stop identifying with every anxious thought
- Why the amygdala loves drama
- A 3-part Sufferless Shift: Default → Deliberation → Design
🧘 Perfect for anyone who feels mentally exhausted, overthinks everything, or lies awake at night thinking too much.
