Do Our Thoughts Listen to Us
Our thoughts are something that either listen to us and are like are own servants or they can become dictators of us. We have the choice as to what role our thoughts will take in our lives.
They will either work for us under the direction of our strong will and at times do their best work at night while we are sleeping- some of our best work comes about when the conscience mind is resting; or if we are foolish enough to allow it to it can make us its slave. Half of the world are slaves to every wayward thought that they let torment them.
Our minds have been given to us to use and not for us to be used by it. Not very many people seem to realize this nor do they understand the art of managing the mind. The key to managing the mind is concentration.
Block Everything Out
If you have some mental work that needs to be done then concentrate on it and block everything else out and the matters will be cleared up rather quickly. Your mind is like an engine and you must become like a mental engineer to it. You must be a competent engineer.
A competent engineer knows that the mental engine can not continue at all hours and that it needs rest. So when its work is finished you need to give it a rest. Some people keep their mental engine running whether there is any work to be done or not. Our mind is like anything else it can get worn out and will be in need of repair.
One way in which people continue to use it and wear it out is by lying awake in bed at night and fretting about that day’s problems and even problems of the next day. The best way to take care of your mental engine is to slow it down and think of something else.
Use Your Will
The thing that you are worrying and fretting about might keep coming back to your mind but you need to use your strong will to push it out and replace the thought with something entirely different.
There is only enough room in our minds to focus attention on one thing at a time. So put all of your attention on something besides your problems and worries and you will see that they will soon be gone from your mind.
