122) The Mind

The mind is "complex."

It keeps running until I die.

Writing a blog post about it is "incomplete."

​Well, here it goes.

​Now, I am thinking about writing whatever is at the top of my head.

To this day, I have negative thoughts in my head. They come and go.

​Before, the mind would completely take over me.

​For instance, if I had a bad day, I would scapegoat. I would use all my anger to everybody else near me. Then, I would completely shut myself down.

​Another thought in my mind.

​I never trusted my jump shot in basketball. I have confidence in it now. Before I would beat myself up, every time I missed a jump shot.

Now, I tell myself, "I am alive and breathing."

​If it gets worst, I take 3 deep breaths. Every time my mind is all shaken up on something, I do that. (Find an alternative instead of worrying about the situation.)

​Again, the mind has thoughts in my head.

​I used to like social media attention, such as growing followers, getting likes, receiving comments, and etc.

​Now, it is okay. I enjoy blogging, hiking, and traveling. If I ever get famous, that is a kudos. Most importantly, I enjoy what I do.

​I have discovered my true-self.

​The mind never ends until I die. It is being able to train the mind.

When I go "rock-bottom," the mind is fully tested. Mental-toughness comes in.

Label the emotion. (It is fine. We are human. We have feelings.) For example, I feel angry. "What can I do to make it work out?" I ask myself. I cannot control the outcome. I can only go with what I can control. Let it be. Be free.

​Alright, I will end it here. Remember, the mind is "complex."
