I like the ‘committe in my mind’ example of how the mind talks too much. There is an old commercial on television with a bunch of monkeys sitting around an executive table. It is funny. That’s my mind. I’ve got to put those monkeys back in the jungle where they belong.

I love your metaphor, Sylvia – ‘the committee in your head’. Yes, it can be quite a chorus of howling voices when the agitated mind gets going. Most folks get caught up in the idea that ‘life isn’t fair’. That one ideas can curse our mood for a lifetime. Thanks for that.

Hi Salty, This is amazing! I remember some of your posts from a few months ago and I notice some change. Wow!! I love your idea and am floored by your ability to have that clarity in the midst of adversity. Thank you for an incredibly powerful tool.

Wow, I am blown away by your ability to share the how,Rob. I am so grateful. I used to calm the committee in my head by leaning out the sliding glass door and screeming at the top of my lungs (funny this was only at my parent’s house.) Now I walk and think and in general I am finding there is much less chaos as I am better understanding. My biggest frustration was that I thought life wasn’t fair. You can’t imagine how wonderful it was/is to learn that life is absolutely fair, I just needed to learn new “rules”. Thank you for who you are and being willing to share in a way we can learn and grow from.

The idea of taking command of myself so that I can take command of my life is new to me. I always thoughtI had to take command of my life first and then it got easier to take command of my moods. Thank you for the turn around tip.

I’ve given this blog a lot of thought all week. It really speaks to me.

Wow, that is some pretty powerful stuff you are sharing there, Tess. Thank you for offering that inspiring advice to our reader. Yes, the ego loves keeping lists – why not give it a list of good thoughts to keep track of.

I am familiar with Deepak, but not his 7 Laws of Success, Parker Lee. I am not surprised that you may find familiarity, because I referred to Zen practices, and Deepak’s roots are in that direction. Truth is truth, no matter how you introduce it. That is why it can sound similar. Emerson is one of my favorite writers of the truth. I like your method of singing your heart out to rock music to take control of your mind when it is jumping about. Thanks for the tip. blessings, rob

One thing I like to do when my mind is on a rampage is to put my hand up and say, “Stop.” This works especially well if I’m obsessing about something.

Another thing is besides writing down what I’m grateful for I write down 15 things that went right in the last 24 hrs and 15 things I got right. Jacob Glass taught me that. He says if our egos/minds are busy keeping track and comparing then we need to give it something to keep track of…this exercise immediately allows me to recognize how wonderful life it.
