You’re Not Broken — You’re Just Thinking Too Hard

Описание: This episode is one of those conversations where we laughed, swore a little, got gently called out by our own minds… and somehow ended up feeling lighter by the end of it.
We’re joined by Wyn Morgan — long-time Three Principles teacher, mentor, and all-round calm presence — for what turned into a very human, very honest exploration of what actually gets in the way of peace (spoiler: it’s usually us trying too hard).
We talk about the strange habit humans have of:
– turning understanding into another thing to do
– trying to think ourselves into thinking less
– picking up the same mental handbags we just put down
– and deciding we’re “failing at life” because an egg won’t flip properly 🍳
Wyn brings so much simplicity, humour, and humility to this conversation — from comparing overthinking to drowning while drinking water, to reminding us that we’re not meant to embody the principles any more than we’re meant to “live gravity.”
Some of the things we explore together:
– Why self-awareness can quietly turn into self-monitoring
– The difference between living… and thinking about living
– Why trying to be grateful doesn’t work (and never will)
– How control sneaks in disguised as self-improvement
– And what changes when we remember we’re allowed to just be human
There are moments of laughter, moments of deep quiet, and a few beautifully ordinary realisations — the kind that don’t need fixing, practising, or maintaining.
If you’ve ever thought:
“Why am I still stuck when I understand this stuff?”
or
“Can I please just enjoy an insight without analysing it to death?”
…this one’s for you.
As always, we’re not here to give you something else to do.
We’re here to remind you of what’s already happening when you stop trying so hard.
It really is okay to be okay.
