How To Control Your Mind



Before starting this topic, let us first understand some basic concepts about the mind. What is the mind? The mind is a bundle or collection of thoughts. So whatever thoughts in the form of memories of the past events, persons or places,  and all kinds of information and desires are collectively called mind. We actually do any work, be it small or great,  with the help of mind only. Now the important thing is that the thoughts of pleasure or pain are just the thoughts as other thoughts are. So if we control or change the thought process of mind then even seemingly bad situations won't have any negative effect on our life. In other words, we can choose our own way of responding to any situation and live a more peaceful life. Controlling the mind means harbouring positive thoughts in mind and getting rid of all negative thoughts.

      The practical methods to control the mind are:
  • Engagement: A very simple but yet very powerful way to make your mind forget useless things is to get engaged in doing some work you like, be it any professional work or hobby like reading, writing, singing, dancing, cooking etc. Once we engage our body in doing some work, the mind automatically gets engaged in that work and nonsensical thoughts stop coming to mind to a greater extent.
  • Travel: Travelling to new places feed the mind with new thoughts of different people, culture and natural scenes which are new and pleasant to the mind. Thus mind forgets old things and gets new energy and purpose to live.
  • Physical exercises: Start from doing simple exercises which would make your body fit and keep the mind active. Scientific research says that while doing exercises positive hormones are secreted in the body which reduce stress and give the feeling of happiness and freshness.
  • Breathing Exercises: Breath is the most basic life force which keeps us alive. Besides that, the mind is closely connected to the breath. If there is any negative thought like anger, anxiety, stress or fear, the breath becomes abnormal. If the mind is peaceful, the breath becomes absolutely normal. So the reverse must be also true. If we can make the breath normal, the mind would not get any negative thought. Practice deep breathing on a routine basis. Slowly you will observe the difference in the patterns of mind.
  • Passion: Keep searching what satisfies your heart the most. Find a passion and keep pursuing it. Without purpose, the mind becomes lethargic and depressed. Passion gives new purpose to the mind and the process of pursuing it itself becomes a meditation as people forget every other thing which was hindering his progress.

How To Attract the Best in Life

Each one of us wants the best experiences in our life. But there is a gap between us and the best experience which can't be bridged until we develop a true understanding of life. To develop a true understanding of life, we need to understand the basic nature of the body-mind mechanism. Our body reacts the way our mind is programmed, so to get success we need to equip our mind with positive ideas. We will understand this theory of programming our mind with positivity in the following paragraph:           " We become what we think " is an old saying which has been preached since ages by the enlightened masters and experienced people to make us conscious about our thoughts. The reason behind this saying is that our own core beliefs shape the circumstances of life .  If we have cultivated only negative feeling like fear of failure, fear of disease, jealousy, anxiety etc., we witness the negative consequences of these deep-rooted beliefs throughout our life.

How to Sleep Well- A simple treatment for Insomnia without pills

  Many people suffer from sleeping disorders like insomnia, oversleeping or nightmares while dreaming. A restless sleep makes the whole day boring and non-productive. A person suffering from these problems feels irritated throughout the day and has to depend on pills. The most unfortunate thing is that it becomes very difficult to get treatment for these problems as the doctors charge very high fees and yet can't provide any permanent solution.                 Thankfully, some ancient meditative traditions provide very simple solutions to these problems. Let the few things be very clear. There are three states of life which are known as waking life, dreaming life and deep sleep. Let us know these terms in detail : Waking Life : The state which we know as a conscious state and experience it mostly in the daytime. It contains the active part of life when we experience our body as true identity with our eyes open and sense organs working in harmony to perceive the physical wo

How to get permanent motivation in life

It has been the biggest query of the ambitious masses since time immemorial, how to get permanent motivation in life.      For most people, the main problem lies in the fact that when we read or listen to any motivational thing, the motivation remains for some time, and then slowly fades away. Without motivation, it becomes difficult for the mind to come out of the comfort zone and do the tasks required for achieving higher goals.    After going through many works of spiritual literature, I found a unified theory of being happy, peaceful, and motivated for whole life which would keep our mental energy at best to accomplish any target we have set.    Let's begin this theory with a basic understanding of our own existence. The world exists outside only because our body has consciousness. No matter whatever we achieve in this physical world, the material comforts or pleasures don't give us permanent happiness or motivation. It moves the question towards our o
