Stop Replaying What's Already Gone | Master Shi Heng Yi

What happens inside your mind when suffering begins — and how to stop it before it builds. In this episode I break down one of the most overlooked mechanisms of the mind: how a single thought, left unexamined, can spiral into hours of pain. I walk through the space between thought and reaction, why most people never notice it exists, and what changes the moment you do.
