<span>The biggest time waster is TV watching. The TV is programming you. It&#39;s insane that Americans watch so much TV as they work full time. Schedule one show at a time and watch it when you want to watch it. Most movies are crap anyways. The good movies will come to you as people will talk about them.</span><br />

<span>The reason for this is to practice creating space between stimulus and reaction. The more we are able to create space between stimulus and reaction, the more control we will have over our emotional lives. This skill that you develop here during sitting can be generalized to daily life.</span><br />

<span>The reason we create a powerful quality of attention is to develop insights into the mind. Just eight weeks of mindfulness meditation made subjects measurably happier and showed an increase in immunity. Upgrading the operating efficiency of our brains with mindfulness meditation is akin to pumping iron: if you work out a lot, you will have bulging muscles even when you are not working out in the gym. Similarly, with extensive meditation training, you will have strong mental "muscles" for calmness, clarity, and joy even when you are just hanging out.</span><br />

<span>Your thoughts can influence changes in your brain, a concept derived from the field of neuroscience. It&#39;s observed that your brain can rewire itself based on your thoughts and it doesn&#39;t remain fixed once you reach adulthood. Its plasticity allows it to adapt even in old age - yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks. If you want to change your life, you need to rewire your brain. This rewiring is a continuous feedback loop. You can program your future self by focusing on your desired outcomes, and your brain will then unconsciously guide you toward them. For instance, if you ruminate negatively about an upcoming presentation, you&#39;re likely to perform poorly. You would perform significantly better if you had approached it with a positive mindset. Ultimately, you become what you think about most.</span><br />

<span>The direction you want to go is more critical than where you&#39;ve been. Many people tend to focus on what they can&#39;t do. Instead, we should rewire our brains to think about what we can accomplish now. The more you repeat a thought, the stronger the pathways in your brain become. It&#39;s a case of &#39;use it or lose it&#39;.</span><br />

<span>Choose the friends you spend time with carefully because they can influence your thoughts. Others&#39; opinions are based on their perspectives and not necessarily aligned with yours. While they may not affect your goals and values, they can provide different viewpoints that are worth consideration when you&#39;re open to new insights. It&#39;s about exercising independence and choosing your influences wisely. Be aware that even television, if left running in the background, can subtly shape your thoughts. Question its influence and consider if there are better ways to spend your time. Your environment can affect your mood, success, and psychological well-being. Choose hobbies that nourish your mind in desirable ways.</span><br />

<br />
<span>Be mindful of your brain&#39;s autopilot mode, which often makes decisions unconsciously, like craving a dessert. It&#39;s important to consciously override these automatic behaviors. We&#39;re often so preoccupied that we rely on autopilot mode without considering who we really want to be. We need to take charge of our attitudes and feelings. It&#39;s a matter of discerning between the mind and the brain.</span><br />
