3 Thinking Habits that Often Drain 90 Percent of Our Inner Peace and Joy

The goal is to change your response to what you can’t control — to gradually grow stronger on the inside, so less on the outside affects your inner peace and joy without your conscious permission.The mind is the biggest battleground. It’s the place where the greatest conflict resides.

It’s where we all develop thinking habits that put us in direct opposition with reality — where the things we fear drain us but never actually happen.

It’s where our expectations get the best of us, and we fall victim to our own trains of thought, again and again.Truth be told, in the game of life we all receive a unique set of unexpected limitations and variables in the field of play.

The question is: How will you think about and respond to the hands you’ve been dealt? You can either focus on the lack thereof, or you can empower yourself to play the game sensibly and resourcefully, making the very best of each outcome as it arises, even when it’s hard to accept.The bottom line is that when you can’t control what’s happening in the world around you, you must challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what’s happening, by better managing your habits of mind.
