Fading Into the Noise

Have you ever noticed how noise kinda sneaks up on you?

Picture this: you're sitting somewhere quiet, and off in the distance, you hear the faint sound of a motorcycle. At first, it’s barely there. But as it gets closer, the sound grows louder, more distracting—until suddenly, it's all you can hear. You can’t even think straight.

Now this isn't a rant about motorcycles. What I’m really talking about is the noise in our heads—the mental chatter that just won’t quit.

Our minds are like constant talk radio. They don’t shut up. They just keep spinning stories, worrying about this, rehashing that. And when that inner dialogue picks up speed, it gets overwhelming. Before you know it, you’re completely caught up in it. It’s like we disappear into the noise and are consumed by it.

Lately, there’s this word that keeps popping up everywhere: mindfulness.

Lots of people throw it around, but I don’t think everyone really gets what it means. To me, it’s pretty simple: being mindful of your mind.

That means taking a step back and just watching your thoughts instead of arguing with them or trying to shut them down. Imagine being a curious bystander, just noticing what your mind’s up to.

And when you do that—when you observe—something amazing happens. You stop getting pulled into all the back-and-forth. You create a little breathing room in your head.

From there, two big realizations become obvious:

1. Your mind really does have a mind of its own.
2. You are not your mind.

You’re the one watching it. And the more you practice observing, the quieter it gets. And here’s the best part: when your mind gets quiet, it also gets open. That’s when the good stuff shows up—new thoughts, insights, ideas you didn’t even know were waiting for you.

So if you're feeling overwhelmed, caught up in the noise—be mindful of your mind. It’s truly a proven method to help you unwind.

All the best,
 John
