b'This is a power-up episode just to invite you all to become familiar with the mind machine. The \\u201ccomputer\\u201d that helps us, keeps us driven and safe \\u2013 but at times also hurts us \\u2013 in that it reduces us to a base-level self. That self that feels small and wounded when we feel slighted, or mean and bitey when we feel judgmental. The goal of this is really just to become familiar with its tendencies so that you might you\\u2019re your choices despite it when it is not serving you. By "it" I mean your inner narrative. Because yes, you are a thinking being \\u2013 but you are much more than your thoughts. Your thoughts are a thing that happens to you in you\\u2019re your body. You are the passive observer behind them. When we are overly identified with our thoughts \\u2013 this can bring about a lot of pain. It\\u2019s much less painful when we can remind ourselves in the moment that it\\u2019s optional \\u2013 and dis-indentify with the thinking in that moment. SO here\\u2019s what this power-up is. An explanation combined with a series of thought-exercises to do so you can get to know your ego as an entity separate from yourself.\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
