To all you creators out there who share this pain
Creativity- cooking
On 15.11.2020, I prepared a quatro formaggi pizza. I used the following types of cheese: mozarella, gorgonzola, cheddar, and parmiggiano. As a base sauce, I used tomato passata and added salt, pepper, and herbs to it, as well as a bit of water, so that the texture is more smooth. It came out very good.
Thoughts in the mind will come irrespective of what you do.
Thoughts in the mind will come irrespective of what you do.
According to experts, you will have 60–80000 thoughts in a day.
80–95% of these will be negative.
So whatever you do thoughts will come.
A general suggestion by anyone in this world to everyone, in this case, is meditation.
It looks easy but requires practice.
What are the possible methods to control your thoughts?
Here are the 7 tools to control racing thoughts.
1. MEDITATION
Closing your eyes and focusing on your breath will allow you to watch your thoughts.
You will see many thoughts, images in your mind and with the mindful watchful condition after a few minutes, you may have some points of no thoughts. Mili seconds.
2. CONSTRUCTIVE WORK
Another method is to keep yourself engaged in some constructive work.
I do not know about you but I can bring one example from my day to day life.
Sometimes when you go to the kitchen and start preparing some juice or your favourite item to eat you forget many things.
Even the time is out of context and thoughts are gone for a few seconds.
Have you ever felt or noticed?
Why?
Because you are so engaged in the work that mind cannot think.
The quality of mind is that it can work on one thing only at a time.
Sometimes when you go for jogging or racing a few moments of not thoughts occurs.
3. POWER OF NOW
Have you ever realised that when you have to catch a bus/train or any other vehicle and you are getting late, you simply run, run and run?
Your total efforts 100% is towards the present only — Run Run Run….. Catch Catch Catch…
Those are the few moments when you may witness no thoughts.
Did you ever felt that?
Initially, you will have a few moments of this but later you will have bigger moments like this.
Ekart Tolle calls this concept “Satori” in the book. Those are the moments mini/microseconds where there are no thoughts. With practice, that gap will increase.
Read the book “THe POWER OF NOW” — by Ekart Tolle
4. COGNITIVE DISTANCING
There are some preconceived notions in your mind that something is true/false.
Research suggests that 90% or more people predict the worst-case scenario.
According to Tony Robbins — You can be afraid about what can go wrong or you can be excited about what can go right.
The choice is yours.
Someone close to you and not talking to doesn’t mean he/she is not interested. It may be the case that he/she may want to distance for time being. Or he/she is working extra hard on some project and trying to concentrate.
So don’t be afraid.. Get excited.
5. MANTRA
What is a Mantra? The word Mantra is taken from Hindu Mythology with the word “Man” or mind. Mantra is something that dissolves the mind.
A mantra is nothing but a word or a phrase that you repeat again and again calms your mind.
You can try some sounds/words like “Om”, “Life is great” or anything as per your religion or tradition.
You can practice the mantra anytime even in the supermarket or even while coming from the office.
6. HABIT OF WRITING
Writing your concerns on paper sends the message to your mind that due care has been taken. You can return to them later.
You will feel comfortable that you can revisit the concern.
The act of writing engages your mind and hence mind is unable to think continuously.
Simply writing your thoughts on paper calms your mind.
Try this out you might have some amazing experience.
7. BREATHE
When you close your eyes and focus on your breathe your body starts shifting from flight or flight response of the sympathetic nervous system to relaxed response.
pay attention to your breath as you slow it down.
Even if your mind wanders, let it wander just focus on your breathing.
New habits are not developed easily.
It takes time to practice these tools. Just do regular practice over a long period of time you will see amazing results.
Realize that whatever is your age, that many years you have taken to form a pattern. Now to break or recreate a pattern requires a massive shift. So be consistent and patient.
If you still feel you are unable to control and there is some serious issue try consulting a psychologist for psychotherapy or medication.
What is your favourite tool?

Writing is a lonely occupation at best. Of course there are stimulating and even happy associations with friends and colleagues, but during the actual work of creation the writer cuts himself off from all others and confronts his subject alone. He moves into a realm where he has never been before — perhaps where no one has ever been. It is a lonely place, even a little frightening...... No writer can stand still. He continues to create or he perishes. Each task completed carries its own obligation to go on to something new.
