    That is not fantasizing. That is worry and it is a neurotic condition of habit that the mind plays because the owner of the mind does not know how to control it.

    All that inner dialogue is actually a symptom of mental illness.  YES. We are ALL mentally ill.  Those who are not, do not have that conversation controlling their thoughts.  People who are mentally healthy do not think in words all the time in their heads.  They shut it OFF.  

    It is not only possible, it is NECESSARY for mental health.  That is why we meditate.  To learn how to shut that FAKE YOU, that voice UP.

    If you let it, it will control your every move.  

    Mental Chatter

    Not to be able to stop thinking  is a dreadful affliction, but  we don’t realise this because almost everybody else is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from being – Eckhart Tolle

    Mental chatter is the constant noise of the mind that never seems to stop. My head is full of mental chatter – ideas, thoughts, feelings and emotions floating around in a deafening cacophony of mental noise. Trying to clear your mind of mental chatter can be difficult. You try, your mind calm downs…and then suddenly another thought appears out of the blue.

    The Buddhists call this monkey mind as thoughts swing from branch to branch and refuse to give us a minute of peace. Thoughts appear for a split second, then they’re gone, only to be replaced by another thought which distracts us for a second or two, before it disappears only to be replaced by another thought.
