The Astonishing Way to Instantly Silence the Incessant Chatter in Your Mind

Hint: I’m not going to tell you to meditate.

Do you recall the infamous “Red Pill Scene” in The Matrix? It’s the one where Neo gets to choose between taking the red pill or blue pill. If he swallows the blue pill, he can return to his slime-filled prison. There he’ll continue his life as a human battery while his mind is distracted by the false existence that is the Matrix.

Or, he can go for the red pill, wake up from his ignorance, and experience harsh reality.

Learning to quiet your mind is like taking the red pill. Only in this scenario, the reality of your present moment is far better than the past/future thought-prison your mind creates.

If you’re like most people, your mind is a never-ending narrative nuisance that plagues you every waking moment of your existence. Chances are, you’ve tried to defeat it and can’t. So your mind is running the show.

Why does it matter if your mind spews a constant barrage of commentary? For one, most of it’s contrary. For another, it distracts you from the here and now. And it forces you to focus on the past, which is no longer, or the future, which doesn’t exist. So you miss out on your life, which only exists in the present.

Your mind is continually judging, labeling, comparing, and blaming — both yourself and others. If you’re dissatisfied, unhappy, depressed, or anxious, that may be why.

So here’s how you’ll benefit from quieting your mind and a quick and dirty trick for those of you who can’t.
