4 Steps to Attaining Peace of Mind [1]

1. WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS

The practice of change begins by watching thoughts as they arise and begin understanding and befriending the landscape of the mind.  People live many years of their lives not knowing their own thoughts.  For this reason, thoughts run rampant and can run the show.  After many years of letting thoughts tread their paths through the mind, it becomes nearly impossible to stop them.  It is then that medications are often needed to stop the thoughts that fuel the deleterious emotions.  Rather than letting it go that far, we begin to gain some control over the thoughts ourselves.  We watch them.  We listen to them.  We become aware of this level of life that has been ignored for so long.
