  Hello there, Kevin here with another episode of the Feel Good English podcast.

• 00:25

  Welcome back or welcome if it's your first time here.

• 00:30

  This podcast is here to make you feel good, feel better about your English abilities and your life.

• 00:38

  Lessons that'll show you ways to grow as a person and also lessons perfect for growing your English skills too.

• 00:48

  To start this episode, let me ask you something.

• 00:52

  Do you have a voice inside your head?

• 00:55

  Like, do you have something inside of you that speaks to you?

• 00:59

  As weird as that sounds, I bet you do.

• 01:03

  And I'm not talking about hearing voices in your head like a crazy person might,

• 01:09

  but just that self-talk we all have that guides us or at least tries really hard to guide us.

• 01:18

  It's that voice inside us that starts having a conversation as soon as we open our eyes in the morning.

• 01:25

  The voice is obsessed with the past and also obsessed with the future.

• 01:29

  So is that voice us?

• 01:31

  Is that who we are or is it just part of us?

• 01:35

  And is there a way to tame this voice, to not be blindly controlled by it?

• 01:41

  I recently read a book that was recommended by one of my students.

• 01:46

  The book is called 10% Happier by Dan Harris.

• 01:50

  This book attempts to convince skeptics on the benefits of meditation by taking a very practical approach to the science behind this mindfulness practice and showing you how and why letting go of your ego is important

• 02:07

  for living a stress-free life.
