Be Your Own Observer: The Chill Way to Find Your True Self

July 14, 2025

Picture yourself playing a game like GTA or PUBG, where you're watching your character do their thing—running, talking, or fighting. Now, imagine doing that with yourself while you're just going about your day. This is the spiritual vibe of being a observer. You don't need to sit cross-legged or be all zen—just notice what's happening in your head and heart, like you're a third person checking out your own life.

Say you're arguing with someone and feel your blood boiling. Instead of diving into the drama, you step back in your mind and think, “Yo, I'm getting loud. My stomach's tight. That's anger.” Or if you're super happy, you notice, “Okay, I'm grinning like crazy. This feels good.” No need to judge it—just watch it, like you're spectating a game.

This trick helps you see that your body and mind are like a robot, doing stuff based on signals from the real “you.” That “you” is the quiet voice in your head, the one you chat with when you're thinking. It's like the player behind the game controller.

How to Do It

  • Keep It Casual: No need to sit quietly. Just notice your thoughts, feelings, or actions while you're working, eating, or chilling or just anything.
  • Stay Chill: See your emotions—like anger or joy—as stuff passing by, not who you are. Don't call them good or bad.
  • Check In Anytime: Try it when you're stressed, laughing, or even scrolling on your phone.
  • Spot the Real You: Wonder, “Who's noticing all this?” That's the real you, the one watching the show.

Why It's Awesome

This watcher vibe keeps you calm, even when life gets wild. It helps you make smarter choices instead of just reacting. Plus, you start to feel the real “you”—the one that's bigger than your thoughts or feelings. It's like leveling up in a spiritual way, without any fancy setup.

Wrap-Up

Being your own watcher is like playing your life as a game character, noticing everything with a chill vibe. You don't need to meditate or do anything special—just keep an eye on yourself while you live. Try it out, and you'll feel lighter and closer to the real you!
