It's trying to get your attention, but we're often just passive recipients of what our thoughts are giving to us and it doesn't even occur to us that we can do something about it or that we should do something about it.
And so one way of thinking about it is that the thing that we're talking about, this chatter, this
this overthinking, this rumination that we get ourselves into, it's almost like an alarm that goes off in the house.
It's an alarm that's going off in your brain.
And it's supposed to all emotions and all mind chatter meant to try to get your attention to pay attention to something.
But what happens is, is we're not taught how to turn that chatter off.
And so the alarm just sort of is going in the background all the time.
There's this, this constant, you know, worry or this constant rumination or this constant thing.
And we just sort of drown it out a little bit, but it's, it's there.
And so I think the nature of our world has actually hit, taken all of these buttons that were evolutionarily wired for that are natural, healthy responses and,
it kicks them into overdrive.
And then we are not trained with the skills of, you know, oh, just quiet your mind or just think about something else or just calm yourself down.
And we're not actually trained in any of those things.
We hear, we say these words all the time, like, go relax.
You know, that's easier said than done when you are in a hyperdrive and a tendency to just be going, going, going.
On a neurological level, thoughts are just firing signals throughout our brain.
Our brain is firing signals for everything from keeping your heart beating to keeping you salivating to keeping you blinking to keeping your organs moving and your body digesting.
Our brain is signaling off these molecules and these firings so that we can be alive.
And thinking is just not any different than that.
So in some ways, thoughts are signals that are going off inside of our brain.
