Pushing against a situation will cause it to own you.

Calm Your Mind

In todayโ€™s world, itโ€™s easy to get swept into other peopleโ€™s emotions. Social media, news, and even just a hectic lifestyle can make it challenging to ever feel at peace.

But itโ€™s something you need to concentrate on. When your mind is always cluttered, itโ€™s difficult to make the right decisions. Opportunities became unclear, unfocused.

Iโ€™m sure youโ€™ve heard taking time to meditate is important for you. And sure, for those 5 or 10 minutes you may feel like your mind is clear.

Then what?

Meditation should go well beyond a specific time frame. Itโ€™s a practice that should be implemented throughout your day, especially when you feel a flood of emotions or thoughts.

Calming your mind is a skill you need to develop and use all throughout the day – everyday. Knowing that things are often more drastic in your mind than in reality. That some things happening to you are meant to be and our resistance only makes them worse.

To go deeper into what I mean, and the importance of keeping your mind calm, Iโ€™ve brought back this clip from Andy Puddicombe.

If you arenโ€™t familiar with Andy, heโ€™s a truly unique individual. Not only did he spend time living with monks, but he studied at the Moscow State Circus and got a degree in circus arts.

He shared some of his inside tips on how he keeps his mind clear and peaceful, even when heโ€™s got a lot going on at work, or things seems to be stressful in her personal relationships.

Get ready to find peace and clarity in this hectic world, on Episode 681.
