It's normal to have an internal monologue. If you don't have on on at least 75% of the time, you're an NPC.

You can't seize thinking. Meditation is focusing all of your attention on one thing like your breath. You can take melatonin for your sleep issues.

I find after taking shrooms, my mind is almost completely silent and I dont think about anything.

Other than that maybe try meditation. I dont really do it myself often as I have trouble sticking to things but the app medito is rather good and free, you could try their 5 minute daily meditation and just try and build it up as a habit if you also have issues with sticking to things.

i think i have aphantasia, so a theory i have is my mind has evolved to be heavily dependent on intenal monologue. its weird, i can visualise shit but cant see it in my mind's eye

I’m the same way bro, that’s why I like watching movies and tv cause then I stop thinking and have to concentrate on something else

Forgot to also say I listen to music constantly throughout the day to drown out my thoughts as well, it works pretty well

if i slow down my breathing and focus only on my breathing, ive found that pre helpful. what music you listen to? tbh, trynna silence the thoughts is kinda counterintuitive also, like the try not to think of a pink elephant thing, just let them come and accept them, but dont be burdened by them. i do music association also, i dont listen to alot of songs, just a few, and i associate them with actions. like how you study on your table than on your bed, as you associate bed with tiredness, youll get tired when studying if you study there, but table is focus, productivity etc so youll then associate with that if you study there. ive associated 'licht und schatten' song with my study, 'after dark' song when i need nofap motivation etc. as ive associated these songs with emotions and habits, i can then tap into that state of mind, i forgot where i got this tip from but its pre good imo

I listen to lots of stuff kinda depends what my mood is. I like rock and metal but I also listen to music like after dark and little dark ages, that sort of synth wave bladder runner type vibe. That shit is really calming but a lot of the time idk why, but it makes me feel really depressed so I can’t listen to it for too long, especially snowfall by Øneheart. But yah I agree the inner monologue never really goes away but I like to think of it as a movie, when there’s a monologue in a movie what do they have? Music. Just makes things better all around.
