The first step we take in developing mental well-being, and employing mind training, is remembering that in every moment we can choose how to direct our inner life. Most of us live our lives in reactive mode – we respond to things as they happen without considering our response. We are on automatic pilot. Lacking a sense of inner control, we typically respond by trying to control the world and others. So step one is simply setting the intention to be aware. It is remembering to stop so you give ourself a choice in how to react. It is remembering that we are in control of our emotional life….Our inner experience may be positive, it may be mundane, or it may be disturbing, but we are the only ones in control of it.

Its important to take out some time each day to reflect on the days activities in order to make sure you dont repeat the same mistakes again.
Thank you for this post! I will reblog it because it’s really something worth being reminded of.
Have a good day!
greetings, Nic

A great reminder…I’ve been very conscious of my thoughts lately, but today I returned to work after summer vacation, and quickly went to autopilot! Tomorrow will be a more mindful day!
