Class 7 | Overthinking And The Story Of Me

In the last talk of this series, we explore the mantra Peace Is Not Narrating and the subtle, constant self-commentary that quietly shapes our identity.

While narrating may seem harmless, in reality it keeps updating an inner “portrait” of who we think we are. One compliment, one mistake, one criticism - and the image shifts again. Endlessly we try to fix the image that is forever changing - and it's exhausting!

Freedom isn’t found in perfecting the image - it’s found in no longer believing it's you.

I’ve listened to your beginning of this talk three times (and will listen again). you are so right. it is the narrating that is this constant white noise that convinces me ot is harmless and like you said, I will say to myself, what’s the harm? but it is this persistent low level chatter that seems innocent but it is constantly undermining my peace. (heavy sigh). I am hoping that my awareness of the narrator will over time get quieter and I will have more peace.🤞 but the narrator is the one that steals my peace more than anything.
Charlotte Joko Beck calls it “the box” I think what she is calling the box is what you call the portrait 💛😊
