    Yeah it confused me for so long

    Instructor: “what I want you to do is stop thinking”

    Me, internally: okay, done

    Instructor: “I know that may be the hardest thing to ask, but I want you to quiet your mind”

    Me, internally: yep, already did it

    Instructor: “once you learn how to stop the constant parade of thoughts in your head and just listen to the world around you, you will find great peace”

    Me, internally: I do that all the time what

        Yes, neither one is difficult for me but I gather it is for people with a monologue.

          I don’t have words in my head but i still have thoughts that keep me awake. I’ve been practicing turning off my thoughts to sleep better. I focus hard on relaxing each body part for 3 breaths starting with a foot.
