Did you know you are missing 47% of your life? Research shows that nearly half our waking hours are spent "mind-wandering"—a state directly linked to unhappiness. In this episode, we dive into the "Second Face of Mara" to understand the difference between creative daydreaming and toxic rumination. We explore the neuroscience of the Default Mode Network, the power of the Pennebaker writing protocol, and insights from Erick Godsey’s Make Your Myth course. Plus, a revealing story about the Dalai Lama that proves negative self-talk isn't biological—it’s a bad habit we can break.
