The Power of The Mind

A distracted mind leads nowhere fast. A mind weighed by obsession with the past is slow to see new solutions for the future. A racing mind prevents relaxation and rest. Taking care of your mind and your mental state is essential. A clear mind leads to clear vision. A relaxed mind lends itself to rest, the opposite of stress. A mind centered in the present moment is open to all possibilities.

Mental Clarity

The beauty of mental clarity is that it allows us to have a sense of where we are in our lives, of where we’ve come from, and the possibilities of where we may go. A clear mind allows us to see if our path is still guiding us (even if circumspectly) toward our chosen purpose. And if we’re on a track leading somewhere different, it allows us to see the terrain to change our path.

Calmness of Mind

A calm mind is a peaceful mind is a relaxed mind. A relaxed mind allows the rest of our body to relax, to let the minor stresses of the day drain away. A mind that gets rest is more easily alert; alert for possibilities, alert for luck, alert to the present moment. Relaxing the mind releases the stress and lowers the burden.

Improving Our Mental Faculties

We work with the mind to sharpen problem-solving skills and liberate our creativity. Worry and stress dampen and crush creativity. By clearing our mental space of worry and stress, even if only for a few moments, we increase the space available for creativity.

We strengthen the mind to replace the pull of distraction with the power of discipline. Distraction steals our most valuable resource; our time. Distraction flows with procrastination, which is what we fall into when we cringe away from our passion and dreams. Our passions and dreams can look and seem scary, they require us to remove our illusions of unworthiness and take the ultimate leap of trust. The payoffs are worth the costs.
