Did you ever realize how thoughts are constantly coming into our heads at every moment of the day? Without our intention thoughts will continue to fill your head of new ideas. Try closing your eyes and have a silent mind for 30 seconds. It may be very difficult unless you had training.
This constant intake of new thoughts can influence you to make new choices at any moment. The things you see or hear have the potential to make you change your mind as you may get triggered by your uncontrolled monkey mind…as they call it.
Why Control Your Mind?
It is not the easiest task to control your mind. Even when you have more control over it, there will always be some circumstances that will cause you to break that power.
Discipline
The better you become at being more in charge of your own thoughts, you will create a powerful discipline in all aspects of your life. The way to control it is from repetition and practice. This requires a strong discipline to work at something that constantly happens naturally within you.
Your body and mind is like a programming computer. The more you perform a task, such as controlling your mind and having discipline to stick with it, the more your body will recognize those habits, patterns and behaviors.
Your body’s cells will start to remember to stick at something, to hold a certain thought or task as you continue to do it over time. It will recognize “discipline” the power to keep at something when you want to hold it.
Achieving Goals
Our uncontrolled thoughts are usually the reason most people do not complete goals or never start in the first place. The nonstop chatter of all the reasons of what you should do or not do is what causes a change of course when you should be sticking to something.
This is the very reason why mentors and coaches are very beneficial to achieve big goals you want. They keep you on the task at hand and know the steps you should take. Most people want to take the school of hard knocks (Figure it out themselves) because they do not want to be wrong. If you have not done something before, you will have a tough time navigating the unknown waters as you go.
When you have a controlled mindset you stick to the plan you have. You continue to work at each step, instead of jumping from one to another or abandoning all together because your mind is tired, bored or have another plan strikes your attention.
How Do Control Your Mind?
One of the strongest ways to control your thoughts and then your emotions is through the power of meditation. This practice keeps you focused on your breathing and to recognize the thoughts that continuously jump into your head. The more you train to focus on your breath, the more able you will be able to keep it that way when you want.
Everything is practice so the more you do this for longer amounts of time, the easier it will become to control thoughts jumping into your head or not. Eventually you won't need to focus on your breath... you'll be more in control and aware of thoughts manifesting within you.
