Peace, despite the noise in your mind
- Understand it is impossible to silence your mind: It’s human to have thoughts.
- The more you fight your thoughts, the more you amplify them. Being non-judgmental is the key to stillness.
- Whenever you analyze, you are always thinking into the past and future, not in the present moment.
- Focus on what you are doing: This restrains your mind from wandering.
- Return to focus whenever you wander away from it.
