You’d wonder, “If he’s the one who’s talking and he’s the one who’s listening, he obviously knows what’s going to be said before he says it. Imagine if you were to see someone walking around constantly talking to himself. If you spend some time observing this mental voice, the first thing you will notice is that it never shuts up. No wonder you can’t sleep! Why do you even tolerate that voice talking to you all the time? Even if what it’s saying is soothing and nice, it’s still disturbing everything you’re doing. But I have a big day tomorrow, and I have to get up early.” I don’t even know why I thought about it. If I don’t call now…oh wait, it’s too late. I remembered in the car but I didn’t call. “What am I doing? I can’t go to sleep yet. When you’re tired and trying to sleep, it’s the voice inside your head that says, It doesn’t care which side it takes, just as long as it gets to keep on talking. Notice that the voice takes both sides of the conversation. Maybe I should stop and call him right now. Oh my God, I can’t believe I forgot! He’s going to be so mad. “Wasn’t I supposed to call Fred?

I don’t have any voice inside my head!”-that’s the voice we’re talking about. Have you ever wondered why it talks in there? How does it decide what to say and when to say it? How much of what it says turns out to be true? How much of what it says is even important? And if right now you are hearing, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. In case you haven’t noticed, you have a mental dialogue going on inside your head that never stops. What’s the matter with me? This is going to be embarrassing.”
