You're not living your life. You're thinking about it.

There's a difference, and it's costing you everything.

It's like cooking with the kitchen fan on for hours, frying onions, making bolognese, feeling like an Italian chef. Then you turn it off and suddenly realize how loud it was. That relief. That silence you didn't know you were missing.

That's what stopping thought feels like.

Most people live with the kitchen fan on, 24/7, unaware of the silence beneath it all.

The question is: what happens when you finally turn it off?

When the Show Replaced Your Life

Do you remember when you were a kid and life felt simply… simple?

You didn't overthink things that much. You played. You acted. You spoke.

But none of it happened with an instruction manual. It just came naturally through flow. And life felt amazing at that time. Spontaneous and adventurous.

Somewhere along the journey, something took over.

The kitchen fan was turned on and suddenly, you entered what feels like a 5-season Netflix show of drama and gossip. A constant loop of an inner dialogue.

Until this day, the show is still broadcasting.

33rd season. Enough already?

You see, most people live inside this show. Having thoughts about their own thoughts that is replacing life itself. They're living inside the TV-Show instead of reality itself.

For every day you're stuck watching the show, it becomes more of your life.

Imagine being locked in Keeping Up With the Kardashians forever. The drama never ends. The characters never leave. And you're forced to keep watching.

But what does it actually cost to stay stuck in this show?

$9/month?

$14.97/month?

The subscription fee is actually much more than most people realize.

And the way out?

It's not what you think. It's not about "being more present" or "trying harder to focus."

It's something entirely different.

The Cost of Never Leaving Your Head

When you're too identified with your own thoughts, the ongoing mental drama creates distance between you and the world.

Imagine you're watching a movie. If you get too lost in it, you forget you're just sitting in a chair watching a screen. You feel every scene like it's real. Your heart races during the chase scenes. You tear up at the sad parts. You forget where you end and the movie begins.

That's what happens with thoughts.

When you're too caught up in them, it's like being stuck inside the movie in your head. Except this movie never ends. No credits roll. No lights come on. Just scene after scene of worry, planning, replaying conversations, imagining futures that never arrive.

And when you're trapped in that mental movie, you stop noticing the real world around you. The people sitting right in front of you. The sounds of life happening. The colors. The simple, unrepeatable things happening right now, today, this hour, this breath.

The more you identify with your thoughts, the more distance there is between you and actual life.

Every day you stay inside the movie, the gap between you and reality gets harder to cross.

It's like walking through fog that gets thicker each year. At first, you can still see shapes, colors, other people. But slowly, everything becomes grey static. The fog doesn't announce itself. It just quietly fills in, one millimeter at a time, until you can't remember what clarity felt like.

And then suddenly you're 78 years old. Tuesday morning. Sitting in the same chair you've sat in for decades. The coffee tastes like nothing. There's a heavy weight of regret in your chest, and you realize life slipped through your fingers while you were watching a movie that was never real.

The people you could have truly seen, you only saw your thoughts about them.

The moments you could have lived, you narrated them instead.

The life you could have touched, you thought about it.

Let me show you what this looks like.

What This Actually Looks Like

It's Saturday evening. 10PM.

You've worked your ass off the whole week and finally, you got yourself some time with the love of your life. You're at that Italian restaurant you both love. Calm live music in the background. A dark, warm ambient space. The relief in your chest knowing you don't have to wake up to an alarm tomorrow.

In front of you is the person you chose to build a life with.

Finally, a moment together.

But suddenly, you start to worry about something you have to do tomorrow (rehearsing, planning, scenario-building). You're mentally scrolling through your to-do-list: every task, obligation and everything that's simply undone.

Your partner keeps talking in front of you, but you're so lost into your mind that you can't even seem to notice her lips moving.

You catch a word here and there. Something about... her sister? A trip? You're not sure. You're nodding, but you have no idea what you're agreeing to.

"Babe, what do you think?…"

You snap back: "Sorry, what?"

She repeats herself. You nod. You smile. You say something that sounds right.

But you both know. That flicker in her eyes, she felt your absence. And this isn't the first time. It's the twentieth. The hundredth.

The moment you could've been fully there, fully with her, is gone. Not because you don't love her. Not because you don't care. But because you were watching the movie instead of living your life.

Three hours in a beautiful restaurant with the person who matters most. Traded for a mental rehearsal of tomorrow. A future that doesn't exist yet. A worry that will probably never happen.

And here's the thing:

This isn't just happening with your partner. It's happening everywhere.

With your kids when they're showing you something they made. With your colleagues during the meeting. With your friends at dinner. With yourself, alone, when you could actually rest.

Every single day, unrepeatable, gone-forever moments are slipping past you while you're locked inside the movie.

This is the paradox of the mind: trading what's real for imaginary futures that never arrive.

So what's the solution?

The real solution isn't about trying to be present.

It's about understanding what thought actually is, and learning to step outside the movie entirely.

The Way Out

If you've read this far, you're tired of the mental movie. You want to know how to turn it off.

Most people think the answer is: "I just need to be more present. Focus better. Try harder."

But that's like trying to stop the kitchen fan by thinking about silence. It doesn't work.

Here's the truth: the movie isn't the problem. The problem is you think you ARE the movie. You've forgotten you're the one watching.

I want to show you something.

It's a 10-minute guided meditation, but you only need 3 minutes to feel the difference. Set a timer. Press play.

It's just you, me, and the ocean.

For 3 minutes (or the whole video if you want), we'll focus on the waves, the present moment, and my voice. I'll guide you out of the movie and help you turn off the kitchen fan, just for a little while.

You can skip this and keep reading. But if you do, you'll miss the one thing that makes all of this real: actually feeling what it's like when the movie stops.

Knowing about silence and experiencing silence are two completely different things.

Three minutes. That's all it takes.

Press play. I'll meet you on the other side.

​

If you just did that, if you actually pressed play and listened, you felt something shift.

Maybe just for a moment. Maybe the whole three minutes.

But for those minutes, you weren't thinking ABOUT life. You were IN it.

The silence was always there. You just stopped covering it up.

Now imagine being able to access that silence whenever you need it.

Not just during a meditation. During real life.

When your partner is talking and your mind starts wandering, you notice, and come back.

When you're at dinner with friends and anxiety about tomorrow creeps in, you let it pass, and stay present.

When you're working and the mental noise gets loud, you know how to quiet it.

This isn't some distant goal. It's a skill. And like any skill, you get better with practice.

This practice works for everyone. But it works especially well for a specific type of person.

If you're an entrepreneur who knows what to do but freezes when it matters...

If you're paralyzed at launch, overthinking every decision, spiraling for days before taking action...

If you've tried meditation, positive thinking, and productivity hacks, but the anxiety keeps winning...

Then this isn't just a nice practice. It's the missing piece.

Because you don't need more strategy. You need to stop fighting your own mind.

I've built a program specifically for entrepreneurs like you. It teaches you how to make confident decisions without the three-day spiral. How to move forward even when things aren't perfect. How to actually enjoy building your business instead of just surviving it. If that sounds like you, I'll be announcing the full details soon.

The silence is waiting.

You just have to remember to listen.

All Love,
Tomas
