Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

I can turn off my inner monologue at will. Complete silence but it limits the complexity of my thoughts.

Unrelated but I felt really proud the first time I had an inner monologue in English (not my first language).

Now I realize that my inner monologue language switch according to the context, if I'm thinking about family it will be in French, thinking about work and it switch to English.

Do you meditate? This is pretty much my meditative state.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I don't, but I've suspected that's what I'm supposed to do if I ever do it. Lol

So this means you hear your thoughts as if they were on speaker, right? I don't, which is a form of aphantasia, which i also have.

I this is why i mumble to myself all the time, my brain has no speakers

That’s really awesome, that is one of the main goals of most meditation techniques! Sometimes I‘d really like to do that as well.

Have you actively worked on this or were you just able to do this?

Is it difficult to „turn your thoughts back on“?
