You’re Not Your Thoughts — How to Create Mental Distance
Ever feel like your own mind is your worst enemy? In this episode, we explore the powerful idea that you are not your thoughts, you’re the observer behind them. Drawing from ancient Stoic wisdom, modern psychology, and everyday life, we’ll unpack why we so often get trapped in our inner narratives and how to step back for clarity and peace of mind.
You’ll learn practical tools, from mindfulness techniques to cognitive reframing, that can help you handle stress, quiet your inner critic, and live with more intention. Whether you’re wrestling with overthinking, anxiety, or just want to better understand your mind, this episode will give you insights you can use today.
