040: Why We Need to Stop the Inner Dialogue in our Heads
Apr 16, 2024
Mike Chang | Stephen Yeh


The podcast delves into the phenomenon of engaging in imaginary conversations within one's own mind, particularly anticipating dialogues with others. The hosts discuss how these inner dialogues, where one plays both sides of the conversation, are ultimately unproductive and can lead to unnecessary stress and frustration. They explore the idea that these internal conversations are not merely thoughts but rather immersive experiences that can affect one's emotions and behavior. The conversation highlights the importance of being present and the potential negative impacts of overthinking and rehearsing conversations that may never occur. Additionally, they consider the intentions behind these inner dialogues and question whether the investment of time and energy in anticipating multiple scenarios is worth the mental toll it can take.
