Managing Your Mind

Another entry from Inner Peace for Busy People by Joan Borysenko [prior entries July 25th/Aug. 1st/8th]:

'Strategies for managing your mind:
  • Make the mind your ally instead of your enemy
  • Exaggerate the negative - sometimes accentuating the negative creates such a hilarious parody of the situation that it can help you change your mind even faster
  • Reframe that problem - sometimes a different perspective helps
  • Try power-whining
  • Cultivate gratitude
  • Walk with a positive attitude - body posture affects the mind
  • Listen to your heart
  • Meditate'

[Another entry from this book next Saturday]

Winners manage their minds.
