Life is not that complicated.  If it’s something in your control that is bothering you, then do it!  If it’s not in your control, then let it go!

We have a tendency to over think and over complicate our lives.  We want to analyze and evaluate sometimes the most minute, unimportant thing, while missing the beauty and the happiness around us.  When we analyze, we are going inside of our minds to thrash through endless thoughts.  When we appreciate, we open up our senses to the world around us, while giving our minds a rest.

Maybe today is the day where you give your mind a rest.  Today is a great day to watch yourself.  Observe and notice when your mind is racing with thoughts.  Then, stop yourself and take note of the things for which you are thinking.  Are they about things that are within your control?  If so, it might be a good opportunity to take out a pencil and paper and begin to devise a plan or a list of tasks.  If not, you might objectively ask yourself what good this is doing for you.

When we let our minds control our lives, we are giving in to the ego.  The ego likes a racing mind, because it will convince you how you’ve been wronged by others.  The ego will convince you that you should feel hurt, or angry.  The ego gives you the support that you strive for, in your internal quest to feel that you are justified in your actions and your thoughts!

However, when we realize that we are not the ego (yes, the ego is definitely a part of who we are, but we are not it!),  we are nature.  We are love.  We are whole with everyone else!  The ego divides and separates, which is the antithesis of who we are.  When you see that your thoughts drive your entire life, you can begin to simply let your thoughts drift away without emotion.

Let go of the need for the “daily drama” in your life.  You may argue that you certainly do not need any “drama.”  However, if you have drama, you are ultimately the one who creates it by giving it permission to enter your life.  When we take an event, and “process it” in our minds, something entirely different is then perceived.  When we observe an event, and let it pass through our bodies unobstructed, we are entirely in the present moment.

Catch yourself mulling over thoughts in your mind.  Stop and objectively observe those thoughts.  Once you realize that you have a stream of thoughts racing in your mind, you can begin the process of quieting them!
