Live Session: You'd Be Living Instead of Thinking — Watch Moment Mindfulness Work in Real Time
from Mastering Thought Deep Dive · host Dr. Mark Waller, LMFT
Most people don't know they're living inside a narrator's voice. They think the thoughts are them.In this live Thursday session, two people are finding out what happens when that changes. Sarah is a few weeks into the practice of Moment Mindfulness. The voice that used to drag her down a rabbit hole of self-criticism is losing its grip — and she's starting to see herself clearly for the first time. Simon is an analyzer: someone who uses internal narration to predict, control, and survive every moment. He watches himself do it. He knows exactly what he's doing. He just doesn't know how to stop.This episode covers the bonfire metaphor — the voice in your head needs identification as its fuel, and when you withdraw that, it gradually goes quiet. It covers the difference between using internal speech as a tool and being used by it. And it includes the moment Simon's subconscious surfaces a dream from age 13 — Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a hill — and what it reveals about who he's really trying to punish with all that work.This is Moment Mindfulness the way it's meant to be learned. Not a lecture. Real people, real time, watching their own psychology lay itself out like a banquet table.We go live every Thursday at 6:15 PM PDT. Join us.🔍 Are you an Analyzer or Explorer?
