TL;DR

Understand that trying to control the mind is like trying to control the weather; it’s simply out of our control
Rather than focusing on what you can’t control, focus on what you can control.
- you can practice non-judgmental observation of negative thoughts as they come, then, let them pass through without acting them out in your behavior
- Choose to support/nourishing good thoughts as opposed to attacking negative ones. This means finding time to read/repeat mantras or conscious thoughts until they becomes so engined that they become believes
- Use curiosity to broaden your perspective by escaping your echo chambers of solitude in pursuit of relationships
  - How else will you know if you’re thinking is correct?
  - How else will you know if you’re lying to yourself?
  - How else will you know if you’re misinterpreting your readings?
  - Short answer: get a team of other independent thinkers and humble yourself
Have a vision of your highest ideal near you at all times, look at it whenever you get the chance. Reminder yourself what you’re meant to be.

Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help?

People who have negative thought patterns.

Reality is messy because it is our subjective perceptions that drive our objective behaviors.

Practice repeating ideal mantras until they become engined as beliefs. This will take time, but it’s better than the alternative of not trying.
