The mind is like a little child. We need to master the art of keeping it busy so that it is not attracted by anything harmful, say the BRAHMA KUMARIS
Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Health includes not just physical but also social and mental wellbeing.
These days, everyone is aware of the importance of physical health, but we must remember to give the same attention to our mental and emotional health too. The mind thinks, studies, works interacts with relations and does everything for us 24×7 and it is the mind, which also strongly influences physical health.
Keeping the mind healthy is very easy. For proper care of the body, we need the right diet and exercise. Similarly, to care for the mind, we just need the right diet of pure information and the exercise of Rajayoga meditation daily. To begin, even just 15-20 minutes daily is enough.
Indeed, the mind is just like a little child. We need to know the art of keeping it busy so that it is not attracted by anything harmful. If any time, it starts crying or begins to create negative emotions like stress, worry, and anxiety, just take a minute to withdraw from work, talk with the mind and resolve the issue, using divine knowledge; once that is done, you can get back to work.
This also means that whenever we are very busy, we need to take a break for a minute or two and talk to ourselves and give ourselves a few positive thoughts. In this way, the negative thoughts will be reduced and even be replaced in our minds by more uplifting positive thoughts. This will also ensure that the mind remains free from waste and is stable and peaceful throughout the day, which will reflect in all our work, relationships and interactions.
Going slightly deeper, the word ‘healthy’ means heal thy self. Indeed, if we remain in the awareness of our true identity and recognise that each of us is ‘pure, divine being’, it will help us raise our frequency above ordinary waste thoughts, keeping us healthy inside, and full of purity, energy, bliss and joy. So, if at a certain point in time, the requirement of our mind is peace, say to yourself, “My real nature is peace and I am originally a peaceful being or energy.”
Also, we need to look at everyone around us and create simple thoughts, such as saying, “The energy of my peace is spreading to everyone around me and giving peace to them.” In a similar manner, if we are stressed because of a relationship, let us tell ourselves: “I am a sweet-natured soul and I have to give love to everyone, even if I am not receiving the same from others.
”We can also think, “I am radiating love to my home or my office and changing its atmosphere to one filled with good wishes and good feelings.”
Just this slight awareness in our way of thinking can bring about lasting, happy changes in our mind.

Brahma Kumaris is the largest spiritual organisation in the world led by women. It was the founder, Prajapita Brahma Baba, who chose to put women in the forefront. Founded in India in 1937, Brahma Kumaris has spread to over 140 countries and has had an extensive impact in many sectors as an international NGO. However, their real commitment is to helping individuals transform their perspective of the world from material to spiritual.

Nice feed.
Mind needs care.
Absolute care. Loving care . Compassionate care.
Meditation is very difficult to happen unless you steady the mind , caress the mind, cuddle the mind.
That may be possible through positive thoughts as you mentioned.
May be through love, love for some one and then love for your deity.
Chanting too cools agitation. A cool calm mind may try to meditate.
Yes meditation is the most virtuous way to nourish mind.
Very carefully written blog. Thank you.
