Episode #145 How to Manage Your Thoughts and Build Resilient Mind

“Throw away all your weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.” Swami Vivekananda 

If you want to change anything in your life, the best way to do it is by training yourself to manage your thoughts effectively.  

Since your thoughts create your feelings and your feelings drive your actions, your life is a result of what you think.  Therefore, to make sustainable changes and live life on your terms,  you must go back and address the source – your MIND. 

To take the overwhelm out of the picture, commit to one simple daily practice. Manage your thoughts through mind awareness while consciously and deliberately choosing what you want to think.

Although this may sound overly simplistic, I found that going back to the basics and addressing the root of what creates our reality is a powerful practice where you learn how to manage your thoughts and stop letting your mind run wild.
