How to control your mind

  "Your mind need not be controlled; your mind needs to be liberated"

If you want to control something first you need to understand it, so what is mind basically? how it works? Our mind is made up of our thoughts , without thoughts mind doesn't work .

Our mind keep itself busy & overcrowded by feeding thoughts to it. Having less thoughts or no thoughts in mind makes you peaceful or calm , that is the main tactic to control it.

Controlling mind is the tough job. Most of us get tired of controlling or forcing it .Mind with the thoughts is the real trouble .Mind generally tends to generate negative thoughts only.

As there are two types of time zones :

1) Clock time - means time of present moments as per clock

2) Psychological time - means time when we have either thoughts of past or thoughts of future 

Mind always want to remain functional through psychological time, so our mind remains active by thinking either of past regrets or worries for future.

Thinking is not bad at all but when the same thinking causes suffering then it has to be stopped .

When we have so many disturbing thoughts going on in our mind, then we start feeling anxious & worried , these thoughts are mostly of negative in nature. When we have positive thoughts in our mind that gives us feeling of happiness & good emotions.  

Whenever we focus on present moments, our ongoing  thoughts in mind subsides and we start feeling light in our head. Overcrowded thoughts in mind is real culprit for troubling us.

Why our mind chatter ? keep on thinking unnecessarily ?

We keep our-self cursing for our past mistakes ,regrets, decisions, faults, memories, so free yourself from psychological time of past by forgiving others as well as yourself.

We always keep our mind occupied with thoughts of future events. Worrying is negative thoughts of future events which causes anxiety & depression. 

As our body doesn't understand whether these thoughts are real in nature or imaginary, body responds to it considering it as real and happening right now. 

So body creates emotions as per thoughts we have in our mind , so we start feeling tensed or stressed by simply imagining thoughts of future fears or worries .

Accept that thoughts will be there in our mind, don't try to control them simply observe them , after sometime they will disappear automatically.
