ALL WE HAVE IS OUR OWN MIND

ALL WE HAVE IS OUR OWN MIND

You don't control the course of events. But you do control your opinion about these events. That can be very powerful. But make no mistake. Before you make your move, consider the possible consequences. You don't want to find yourself in 'hot water'. Being in trouble can be avoided, if you think before you speak. Words without thought may make the situation worse, especially for yourself. Better spend some time quietly with your own thoughts. 'Just thinking' could be an incredibly important part of your life. It could increase your life satisfaction, because you give your mind a chance to pause and refresh. Only then, you'll be able to get things done.

Just give your brain a break. You may tend to overdo things and to become impatient, due to societal pressures. Your brain may be overworked. Therefore, it needs a rest, now and then. You would improve your mood and boost your performance. You would become more creative. You also would keep 'burnout' at bay. The processing of information can be very stressful for your brain. Try to do something, that is considered a 'mindless' task, like cleaning or doing the laundry. Get into the regular habit of wandering through some pleasant memories for a few minutes a day. Listen to the birds! Over time, your daydreaming could be very important. You could have a moment of triumphant discovery, an 'Eureka' moment. Guess what: your mind will thank you later.

Take a deep breath. Repeat this. Your cluttered mind is now getting a break. All you need is a reset. Are you refreshed yet? There is nothing wrong with talking to yourself as if you were your own best friend. You may want to think about a pleasant experience of bygone days. Positive memories are great for your wellbeing and can keep you going, forever. Singing and dancing can really put you on another level. Your mind would have a ball!
