economy state of mind

one of the best learning I had so far is the usefulness of economy state of mind. instead of exaggerating fear or attachment if I can only learn to see things as they are. instead of default state of mind where every thing sticks. if only it could becomes place like water where good or bad everything flows. a mind that is spacious enough to live in. this seems like a core quality for a good life hidden in plain sight.

so many times the thing we thought about all the time is not the problem, but this habit of mind to think all the time is real problem. only if I can tell my mind I’ve thought about it enough and comes to conclusion so please shut up now. only if it could be that easy.

even though there must be several ways to achieve it. for me meditation seems like a great way to get there.

without this quality, it becomes quite hard to be calm in face of challenging situation or fear. it is hard to not make regretful decision if I am agitated. it is hard to tuneoff the constant chatter of mind.

so if I am feeling unhealthy dose of depression, anger, fear, proud or attachment it is always advised to step back do a small mediation, may be took a walk and then come back. instead of going further.
