Calm Your Mind
On a daily basis, we experience what is commonly referred to as the “monkey mind.” Our brain is filled with thoughts, a lot of which bring negativity and distraction into our lives. The more we start to notice these thoughts, the more easily we can let them go. Our mind is a muscle, just like anything else, and we can train it to be more aware and calm. The calmer the mind, the better and wiser we feel.
