Chris Love Take a moment to 'think'.
Many years ago, I taught myself to say a phrase in my head many times throughout the day: " I remember myself...I am here".
That would remind me to be 'present', at that moment in time.
Then, I would take an 'assessme...nt' of the thoughts and emotions that had been running, unchecked, through my mind and body and how they were making me feel at that moment.
I would cull out the ones I didn't want then, or that seemed contrary to the task at hand, then I could change my thinking or perception of the situations around me.
( The Fourth Way by P D Ouspensky...warning, Ouspensky is very intellectually centered, lacking heart centered thinking...maybe Maurice Nichole's books are easier to read)
Saved loads of energy this way...plus, the state of things outside me stopped determining how I felt and thought inside.
It's a way to break habitual reactions...the Buddhists call them 'habit mind'.
