Mind Management - Key 1

All things in our lives need to be managed whether it is time, work, business etc. so why not our mind which is one of the most puzzled creations of God. Mind is the core of everything and it controls all the activities and a sound mind is the beginning of a stable life.

But understanding mind is very complicated and  it often plays games and  before our body understands anything our mind judges everything  due to its proactiveness.

Now what  exactly mind management is? It is the not the hardcore science but an art to control our head's activities so that we have a right balance of thoughts and feelings. As quoted by 16th century poet Pietro Aretino, "I am indeed the king as I know how to rule myself", same goes for mind management and one who controls his mind well becomes the king of his natural powerful wealth.

Well for managing it, first important thing  is that we should have a full focus on the work that is at hand. It is often seen that our mind never rests and though we are  doing a work but along with it something else would also  be running in it. And this distraction varies from person to person as each one of has a different capacity to think and execute. Most of our energy is wasted when we keep on thinking that something else in the deep roots of our brain. And sometimes our dreams become the reflection of those parallel thoughts. So it is better to have a strict focus on the work and having full concentration only on doing it well. We don't have to be lost instead have to be alert. Just a little interest and care would do wonders.

Little things to be followed are:

  • Do not force yourself to do a work especially if you have some other plans for that time as it would lower the efficiency of the mind.
  • When at work forget everything else that can distract.
  • Do not overexert.
  • Keep your spirits and confidence high by saying "I can do".
  • Remember the goal and the target and also how this work can help you achieving that. Even if it doesn't affect your position then think how others can be affected. And once you realize the importance start doing it with full energy.

So this the first key of Mind Management and hope it would be a beginning of the ladder of understanding the mind in a  better way.
