Become acquainted with your mind.  Get to know it.  Are you prone to impatience and anger? Do you compare yourself to others?  Are you highly self-critical?  Do you react emotionally, explosively?  Are you a person who transitions from trauma to drama rapidly? Do small life ripples trigger larger waves?  It’s always a wise practice to spend some become aware of your mental patterns and conditioned responses.  Once you know your mind and how it operates, only then can you manage it and shape into a skillful tool for living.  The end result for you will be a happier, more peaceful life. -VMP
