Don’t fight your chattering mind. When a thought arises, acknowledge it and then let it go. Don’t let it turn into a conversation. And when you have 100 thoughts, just note them all and let them all go - it’s ok to have Monkey Brain for awhile. 2. A Zen saying: “When sitting, just Sit, when walking, just Walk.” Made me realize that I don’t have to try so darned hard. Just relax already! *LOL* One other thought: Thich Nhat Hahn suggest that every activity, when done with Mindfulness, is meditation. This is a very useful thought! Check out his wonderful book, “Peace is Every Step”. I’d add the Amazon link, but it’s huge. Just search the title.

That is what I always do. I just open up my Ezine articles and start write about stuff. If not, I just fire up my blog and write things that bother me..

Well, you see, for me, I find it hard to get social with people. Once I did this Self directed research which my school counselor gave me, and I got only 1 point for social! That's how bad it is. So, I try to express myself with different things. For example, I do write a lot. I like writing articles, I sometimes write about my life on my blog. I just write and write, all that my mind can say. Truly, they really help in giving that peace of mind. Other than that, I also favor music. So if I get the chance, I beat up the drums, or pluck the guitar or even play the piano. If these things are out of reach, I always have my Mp3 player by my side, and I will be singing right through with the song, expressing myself. One more thing I like to do is called, horizontal meditation (Sleeping) :D Truly effective!! Great post Steven!
