Control The Mind And Be Happy
It is indeed only a matter of practice.
Who said you have to take your mind for granted and let it control your life.
Which is the most important in your body? The mind because it generates thoughts which you then can use to guide your life? Or your heart the source of life? Give it a thought, only one thought and come back to us.
Learn to observe your thoughts.
Stop a moment in that street, in that office, in that shop and in that thought and observe.
What do you see? The answer will be your guide to release tensions.
Yes all comes with a bit of efforts.
In this case, the effort of trying not to think by learning to observe the mind.
It is going to be a real effort but likewise the sweat effort you put up to lose some kilograms at the rowing machine twice a week, you will gain from it.
When the first step of observing the mind is a bit more regular you can initiate the second step of observing the mind with your senses.
For instance eyesight.
Now look at your mind with your eyes and tell us what you see.
Then observe your mind with your hearing, what do you hear? Did you hear that voice? It is your consciousness.
It is talking to you and trying to guide you.
Do not become obsessed by the process of observing the mind and detailing what is happening inside the box.
Just remember that your thoughts are the products of your unconscious mind.
Controlling the mind consists in the capacity of observing the thoughts.
Now if we revert back a second to the production of negative thoughts it is important to learn that negative thoughts are not the product of your conscious mind but of your unconscious mind.
To control the mind is to learn to systematically observe the thoughts as though they are the product of an organ of the body that has the same value as another organ.
When a negative thoughts is produced it is important to remind ourselves that these are the product of the unconscious mind.
The mind produces thoughts automatically and being aware of that automatic process is already the result of the observation of the mind which in turns is the guide to controlling the mind and live in positive thinking.
controlling the mind is thus not an authoritative dictatorial process of imposition.
Rather a regular effort of observation.
