HOW TO CONTROL YOUR MIND

How to control your  mind? The mind likes to wander, but you’ve got to latch on to it. There are many ways by which you can control your mind and keep it fit.

1. Take a Step Back

Quite often when faced with a problem, we tend to react. Our mind gets emotional instead of rational. That’s when we need to take a step back, control ourselves, and rationalize. The rational mind is more mature than the emotional one. It looks at things with a detachment that is important in decision-making and in problem-solving.

2. Tell Yourself the Right Things

It’s true when they say you are what you tell yourself. If we keep sending the wrong messages to our brain, sooner than later these will begin to show up in our thinking.

If we keep dwelling on our failures, over the course of time, we will stop motivating ourselves to try new things because of the fear of failure. However, if we take things as they come and try to keep calm even in difficult situations, the mind will condition itself to work that way and you won’t be bursting into tears and becoming a nervous wreck every time something goes wrong.

3. Don’t Bottle up

In the course of a day, a million things cross our mind. A lot of these get involuntarily filtered out, others get stored in momentary memory, but a few run deep. Everyone has some things that they only keep to themselves. More often than not, these are negative emotions and feelings we are afraid to share.

We may think that by closeting them in our mind, we will forget. But the truth is that bottling up starts filling up and clogging your mental space and starts showing up in your thinking and actions. How often does it happen that bottled anger causes us to pick up unnecessary fights or depression causes us to forget something totally unrelated?
