A Quiet Mind

Many of us feel we are exhibiting signs of attention deficit disorder. If you get right down to it, aren't we all? Doesn't it seem our thoughts want to flit about from one topic to another, gathering steam as we ​travel ​through all the avenues we are led into​,​ as one thought triggers yet another? The thing I find unfortunate is​ ​people think​ing​ they have no choice​ in these frantic ​thought processes. Like anything else, it takes practice to attain a quiet mind. I know I've said it before, but watch that first thought of the day. It can set the tone for everything which comes after it. Refusing to start the day with busy thoughts is key to choosing a quiet mind over a ​scattered one. And when we slip into worry and circular thoughts, just choose again! Before we know it, th​e​ choice of a moment extends to a way of life. Ah, peace…
