How To Control Your Mind

 

In this video, Dandapani, explains how he learnt how the mind works and how you can control it.

He explains that in a world of distraction, you can’t sustain the energy to keep your focus on everything that's going on. He further explains that energy is like money, and that it’s a finite resource that you have to manage and invest wisely.

You get good at what you practice, and if you’re practising being distracted for most of the day, you’ll become good at it. So, you need to practice concentration throughout your day.

Once you start concentrating your mind, you’ll be in control of it. Once you’re in control of your mind, you can focus it. As the saying goes, "you get what you focus on", so you can start using your mind to get you what you want in life.

So, what’s the best way to develop concentration? Bring it into your daily practice. Look for situations throughout your day that will let you practice concentration.

“Once you know how the mind works, you can control it.
And once you can control it, you can focus it”
