You may find that your thoughts are leaving you feeling preoccupied today. It could seem like your mind is on overdrive, and you could notice yourself worrying obsessively about unimportant concerns. You might find that these feelings are a result of a deep internal dissatisfaction with your life, which makes you always question if things are happening as they should. Perhaps today you can work on training your mind to become calm and acknowledge things for what they are. Consider setting aside a few minutes every few hours to do a simple meditation. You can try closing your eyes and watching your thoughts. Most likely you will hear them as they race around in your mind. Take a deep breath in and gently remind yourself to accept yourself and your thoughts. You may find that your worries lessen as a result.

By focusing on where we are in the moment, we can discipline our minds and alleviate excess worry. Our minds often engage in all sorts of useless chatter, which can leave us stressed and anxious. We tend to worry about things that may not matter much to us in the long run. When we watch our minds, we notice that our thoughts are simply a stream of random ideas. Depending on our mood, certain thoughts such as those that cause us to worry are more likely to capture our attention. Accepting that these thoughts are only fleeting notions helps us control them. Take the time to meditate today, and your mind will become less consumed with unsettled thoughts.
