Our poor mind and intellect get riddled with wretched and worthless ideas that add no value. This must be reversed; we must be able to choose the thoughts and emotions that work for us.

Emotions management is an inseparable part of the holistic approach to health.

Sadhana means to counter the mind’s natural disposition by the power of our intellect. We must force the mind against its lower nature to harbour divine emotions.

The mind is replete with infinite potential. As gardeners of the mind, we must ensure its productivity. Our sovereign duty in life is to carefully tend to our mind to make it bloom with sublime thoughts and noble emotions.

Proper mindsets are the forte of successful people. They become masters of their emotions when they know how to manage their moods in any situation.

Sadhana means not letting the mind dictate our moods. Rather, training it to harbour the emotions we decide are beneficial for our well-being and growth.

Negative feelings rob us of health, make us unpopular among friends and ineffective at work. It is our ineptness at managing our emotions that trip us in the journey of life.

To be good thinkers, we need to master our emotions as well—the head and the heart need to work together in alignment.

Remember that people can only behave to the level of their emotional maturity. See them through the lens of empathy.

We are not obliged to accept the emotions our mind presents us with. No matter what the external circumstance, we always have the freedom to choose our mental response.
