The Mind Machine

The mind is quite powerful. One minute we are stable, safe, secure. Within seconds that same device can disrupt, dismantle, and deplete our entire experience. Do we even stop for a minute to recognize this powerful machine? Its ability to impact our entire being from second to second. We think, we react, we do. We have this powerful machine within us, yet we do not befriend it. We do not invest time in training, understanding, learning, or reading our own instruction manual. Understanding the mind, your mind, is a learned skill. Becoming an expert in your craft takes practice. You wouldn’t fly a plane if you didn’t have your pilot license. The ability to control such a complex machine is fundamental. Begin studying. Notice the patterns, the ups and downs, the triggers, etc. Be gentle, be curious, be kind.
