HOW TO TAME THE MIND

LIVE THE PRESENT TO THE FULLEST, ENJOY LIFE AND LET GO OF YOUR FEARS BY TRAINING YOUR MONKEY MIND

ABOUT THIS BOOK

The first step to mastering your mind is to understand what the monkey mind is and why it’s such a problem.

The monkey mind is that part of our consciousness that never stops chattering away. It's always thinking about something, whether it be the past or future, positive or negative thoughts, good or bad experiences—the list goes on and on.

Most people are not even aware of how much time they spend caught up in endless chatter in their heads! The constant stream of self-talk can be exhausting at best and debilitating at worst—it keeps us from living fully in the present moment with all its joys, challenges, beauty and sorrows.

For example: If you are stressed out about work tomorrow, then you have already lost half your day because you will feel tired from poor sleep tonight due to worrying about tomorrow’s workload.

What would happen if we could stop worrying about these things long enough for us to enjoy eating lunch with friends this afternoon? Would we remember what kind of sandwich tastes best? Would we savor every bite instead of wolfing down whatever happens pass through our lips quickly so we can get back to being worried?
