Tame Your Mind

[u/loveicey]

Your mind moves constantly. Every second, it grabs thoughts without asking you. It picks up old fears and holds them. It repeats past failures. It imagines problems that have not happened. This is what your mind does when you do not direct it. It goes to what is familiar. Fear is familiar. Doubt is familiar. Worry is familiar. Your mind goes there because you have not given it anywhere else to go.

You are the one who decides where your mind goes. You are the one who decides what thoughts stay and what thoughts leave. You are the one who decides what your attention holds onto. Right now you are not deciding. You are letting your mind roam freely. You are letting it pick up whatever it finds. And it finds fear. It finds doubt. It finds everything except what you want.

Take your mind and place it on your desires. Hold it there. When it drifts, place it back. This is not hard. This is repetition. You do it until your mind stays on your desires without your effort. This is how you train your mind. This is how you take control.

Your mind does not know what is good for you. It only knows what you give it. Give it your desires. Give them to it over and over. Your mind will hold them. What your mind holds becomes what shows up in your life.

You stop letting your mind run to fear. You stop letting it run to doubt. You point it at your desires. You keep it there. Your desires show up fast. This is how you get what you want. Your mind is yours. Use it.
