Be aware of your thoughts!

Have you ever thought about the fact that there is never a moment when you are not thinking—that whatever happens in this world begins with a thought?


Start watching your thoughts, without identifying with them. Watch them as a detached observer. Our true nature is to renounce thoughts every passing moment. Simply allow each thought to rise like a bubble and burst.


You may even get carried away by your thoughts. Never mind. It is natural. What you need to do, whenever you detect this, is to take yourself out of your thoughts immediately and get back to the process of thought-watching once again as a detached observer.

Do not get perturbed by your thoughts. Don't condemn or justify them. Don't try to control them. Just watch them. After some time, you will come to know what your negative thoughts are about. Our goal is to be able to think only thoughts that are productive and dismiss the rest. Keep yourself busy. Simple food, deep breathing and relaxation exercises also help manage your thoughts easily. Expect less from others.
