Breath deeply, take three deep breaths concentrating on the breathing motion.
See problems as opportunities.
Refuse negative thoughts,.
Let God take control of your thoughts and the actions will follow.
The hardest part of training the brain is allowing the mind to shut off for a minute to regain that sense of peace. This is what I have been having the hardest time with.

Mistie,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you say, "see problems as opportunities", and "Let God take control of your brain". Those are wonderful sayings, and I think I may use them as a new mantra for awhile. You are not kidding about how hard it is to get your brain to shut off for a just a minute. I use the mantras I find to try and focus my mind. I use them as positve affirmations, that I give out to the universe in the hopes that they will come back to me. If while I am meditating my mind starts to day-dream I bring my focus back with the positive affirmations/mantras. When I first started out, I would say the Lords Prayer, or The Holy Rosary. When your mind starts to wonder, and you find it hard to focus just repeat over and over one of the sayings you just posted here. Good Luck! Laura
