Peace, despite the noise in your mind
- Understand it is impossible to silence your mind: It’s human to have thoughts.
- The more you fight your thoughts, the more you amplify them. Being non-judgmental is the key to stillness.
- Whenever you analyze, you are always thinking into the past and future, not in the present moment.
- Focus on what you are doing: This restrains your mind from wandering.
- Return to focus whenever you wander away from it.

Notice when your mind wanders
As with mindful breathing, your thoughts will wander.
When you realize that your mind has drifted, let go of the thoughts and return your attention to what the person is saying.

Focused attention makes a big difference in effectiveness. Our attention and effectiveness are limited when we try to focus while simultaneously allowing distractions like Twitter or Facebook.
A mind that is wandering away from the present moment is a mind that isn’t happy.
