The Mind

'When we are completely overwhelmed by our emotions, we become the sum total of our thoughts, rather than the instigator and controller of them. To stop this, the mind must be stilled, all thoughts put on hold. To rediscover that our thoughts are under control is incredibly liberating and empowering. Taking control enables us to see things as they really are, without being hindered by associative thoughts, and allows us to respond more appropriately, because our response is direct, based on the here and now'
