How to Conquer Mind???

How to control desires of our senses and focus our energy on what we really want to do???
Well this is a question what most of the blog readers want to know.

You may think that suppressing you senses will be a solution.

But SUPPRESSING your senses and your mind will not work. Suppressing our desires is like pressing the spring and making it remain in contracted condition.

The string will remain suppressed as long as the pressure on it remains. Moment we remove the pressure from the spring, it will re-gain it’s original shape.

The same is true with our mind and senses. When we suppress our desires, they are very active beneath us.

OUR MIND & SENSES will violently REVOLT moment they get an opportunity to set free. The Mind will trick you and make you commit what you don’t want to and make you not do what you really want to do.

Hence suppression may work for time-being but it is not the solution.

Then how should we control our thoughts and our mind.

The key is changing our thoughts.

If we keep fighting with our mind, our MIND will WIN most of the time because it is actually more powerful than us. So it is futile to waste our energy arguing with our mind and trying to convince what we want to do.

Don’t argue or counter-attack the mind. For every thought you give your mind for not doing something, it will give you thousands of reason why you should do it.

And the biggest trap of the Mind will be, let me do this JUST TODAY.

But this today will keep coming everyday.

So secret is, tactfully change our FOCUS. Change your thought as soon as a tempting thought arises. Change your focus immediately from injurious thoughts - from the object of attraction to something better and beautiful. Just simply pick up a nice book & start reading it. Just listen to a good song. Call your old friends. Go out. ENJOY. Don’t Kill yourself.

Am still falling in for that simple but most deceitful tactic of the mind - JUST TODAY :(

every time i take a good decision of change, the mind secretly notes it down, and prepares a cunning plan of how to decieve me,

ultimately, its my mind that decides to change, but again it knows that wont last , MIND has the last laugh...

so CONFUSING is the battle

anger management Self improvement programs basically say the same thing: that your worth is determined by you and the only way you can make things better is to step up to the plate and act on your insecurities and stressors. This applies for all kinds of activities, from learning to play tennis better to handling family problems. Self improvement entails seeking ways to equip yourself with the right tools to be able to effectively combat the negatives that are thrown at you throughout your life journey.
