I agree. What's interesting is that when you realize how machine-like your internal dialogue is, then it's easy to see how it can be manipulated. The greater awareness doesn't come from the dialogue itself but from the perception that sees the dialogue taking place.

Particularly when it becomes a repetition of thoughts and images that are far from creative. Often I find myself having to reset by going out and watering the vegetables at 1, 2 or 3 in the morning.

So true. It's funny that seemingly mundane tasks provide the much needed respite from that infernal dialogue.
