It is said that one of the most dreadful disease among humans living in 21st century is “Overthinking”. As per estimates, an average person has around 70,000 thoughts per day. So, how many of us focus to observe our thoughts? Maybe very few. Do we ever think of putting a brake on or a full stop to our thoughts? Not really.
Usually we allow them to scatter everywhere, into every corner of our mind, as a result of which our mind crashes. An uncontrolled mind ends up tense, worried and stressed and this causes a lot of damage to the self as well as others. Hence we need to apply a brake if the mind is to become peaceful.
We all have this bad habit of thinking too much about others all the time-- what they did, what they should do, what they should have done, why they said this or that. All these what's and why's rob the mind of its peace, thereby making our lives miserable. Overthinking is like over eating, which makes us constantly heavy from within, thereby preventing us from remaining light and flexible.

Often, when we overthink, we over-imagine and over react, creating a variety of negative feelings towards people and situations. Under such a situation, it is always better to observe rather than get over-involved and react too quickly, because observing gives us patience and clarity to think and speak succinctly and keeps us focused.
So how does one put a brake on the mind? Most of us understand this concept very well, but when the real moment arrives, we almost fail miserably, because we are constantly being pulled outward by others, due to which an imbalance is caused within us , thereby creating emotional, mental and physical disorder. Hence, the simplest and easiest way to avoid this kind of imbalance is “putting a brake on the tongue first”.
Our mind and tongue are very closely connected, for what is in my mind is automatically expressed through my tongue and my words, positive or negative. If my words are incorrect or inappropriate they create negative feelings and reactions in others and in turn the response of others create further retort from within.
If we wish to stop this daily drainage of energy, we must apply the “Check & Change” method. For that we need to first check our mind. What is in it? Wasteful thoughts, worry, fear, dislike or peace.Then, check the flow of the negative thoughts and change the track into positive. To check means to put a brake and to change means letting the energy of my mind flow in to a more constructive direction. Isn’t it simple?
So c’mon, let’s make our mind our best friend and begin our day with these thoughts daily: ‘I am a peaceful person, I am a being of peace. Peace is my original quality.’ and remain Energetic, Creative and Productive.
