My gut says "Trust me. Eat something, you'll feel better!" Oops -- that's not my gut, that's my mother. So many choices, so much noise, so many voices... and none of them sound right. I'm SO confused!!! What's a poor girl to do? Turn down the Volume!

Turn down the Volume!

One more practical example - Why do we all like to go to a SPA ? A SPA relaxes us. Spas are kept beautiful, uncluttered, serene, smell good for a reason. We are pampered at a spa. We don't get that environment at our homes....BUT think of it , would we go and spend boat loads of money if our house was as serene and beautiful as a SPA. Your mind is like your home.Keep it clean and beautiful like your home.... Question yourself....Would your friends like to hang out with you if your house is dirty and stinking and over loaded with junk ...Probably not ....! So it is very important to CLEAN HOUSE ;-)) Organize your house. Throw away the junk. Keep it clean. Your house/home is a reflection of you and what you stand for. If your home is pretty, serine, organized and energized more and more friends (people) would love to hang out with you..... All this takes hard work which means it is like putting your mind to exercise so as to keep it healthy and beautiful.....That is why do PRANAYAM ;-) ....BREATHE Cheers SoulFreetoRhyme Adding to my comment above…

I am fairly new to the blogging world and I recently decided to upgrade my writing skills from my personal diary to putting it out there. I must say that I was shocked to read this post. Looks like the laws of life are universal. A friend of mine recently enlightened me about the concept "TAMING OF MIND" After having understood the concept very well, the question was to how to actually physically achieve this goal of taming your mind. Here is what she said 1) Know that Your MIND is not YOU. It is a part of you and you want to be friends with it. 2) Treat your mind as a channel to your SOUL. So it is very important that we respect our mind and treat it well. (Nurture it) 3) Talk to your MIND....Say nice things to it ...Don't be afraid to Talk to your mind like you talk with any other friend....! You will be amazed to see that it talks back to you. 4) Make your MIND exercise. Our MIND is a like a PRISM that has many facets which breaks one ray of light in to multiple reflections. So... it is very important that we make sure that this PRISM is kept clean.....What do you do to keep it clean? You need to oxygenate it. It is very important that we BREATHE correctly. 5) Do PRANAYAM (yoga breathing exercise) every single day of your life. By oxygenating your mind, you would have calmed yourself, you would not be hyperventilating when your mind is tussling with your heart. You will have the ability to take a step back and look at a situation more clearly and clearly direct your mind to think in the right direction and not fight with you. I will be writing in a more organized and details on these points at a later time (in my book)and will definitely share them with you. May be you can give me some valuable input too ;-) Regards SoulfreetoRhyme Jonathan,
