Mental Noise

When people thinking about certain matter after had been through a dilemma in past, seems unable to let go after reaching a conclusion or finding a solution themseleve. The mind seems to go on thinking on the same subject over and over again. It is like a broken record that keeps repeating the same tune. Well, it is most likely caused by our mental noise...

It is the constant chatter of the mind that never stops and it is the inner conversation that constantly goes on in our mind. Many are unaware of this mental noise, because it has become a deeply embedded habit and it's also considered as a natural and inseparable part of our life.

This 'background noise' is never ceases, from the moment of waking up in the morning, to the moment of falling asleep at night. Often, it even prevents you from falling asleep. It is a sort of inner voice that constantly analyzes everything about our lives, surroundings and the people we know, and it is a voice in the head that just keeps talking and talking.

To get things worse, the mind often repeats the same thought over and over again, like a tape that keeps playing the same tune and got stuck, dwelling on the past or fearing the future. If this is a positive thought that's fine, but too often this a negative thought that just intensify stress, depression, anger or frustration.

Too often, this is tiring and exhausting could makes us impractical or lazy, and it might also makes us miss opportunities due to insufficient attention to what is happenning around us, as the mind roams where it wills, occupying our attention with unimportant matters and useless thinking that's wasting time and energy. This prevents us from enjoying the present and all these negative thoughts that you absolutely do not need.

Our mind is a useful tool but it also needs to be controlled - shutting down our mental noise means inner peace. It will probably save a lot of mental energy and time wasted on thinking on matters that don't add anything to your life and eventually it gives you a peace of mind and get over it.
