5 ways to train our mind…..
Our Mind is the most important part of our body. As the computers has CPU to control all its activities in the same way brain is there, to control all our activity. Brain is the power house of our body.
When it’s the question of power house, it also becomes important for us to keep it in a good health. As everything requires maintenance in the same way our brain also require maintenance. So how should we train our mind ?
In the Holy Gita, Sri Krishna said to Arjuna, “karm kiye ja phal ki chinta na kar.” Meaning keep on doing the good work don’t worry about the fruits.
Here it’s very hard to understand, what he exactly wants to say. Even I didn’t understand; what I understood, was that we should keep on working. But I came across the real meaning when I saw a video of Sandeep Maheshwari.
Here he explained that; work does not mean, you should do any work, even a rickshaw puller keeps on pulling the rickshaw throughout the day. Our work should be channeled properly. Now how could it be channeled properly? By work, Sri Krishna did not mean to say the work which we do physically, like we use our hands and legs to do the work. Here he wanted us, to focus on our brain, our thoughts, our imaginations.
When our thoughts are right, our speech is right and when our speech is right our actions are right.
Our mind, keeps on talking to us throughout the day, but it talks more about negative things rather than of positive. According to some research , it’s said 80% of our thoughts are negative. These negative thoughts leads us to depression and anxiety and ultimately leads towards health issues like, High blood pressure and diabetes. The people who are successful are the most successful controller of their brains.
Win in your mind, and you will win the world……
So, let’s get into the topic now, how can we train our mind or focus towards thinking positive.

In such situations we need somebody to boost our energy. Listening to these people helps a lot to think positively. Make it a daily routine of listening to successful people at least for half an hour. It gives good result, if it’s done at the morning time.

Every morning when I eat my favourite fruit, I just close my eyes to feel the sweet taste and the soothing experience in my mind, to feel the freshness of the fruit and to thank God for creating such magical things for us.
