Your Mind Is Your Greatest Asset
AND YOUR GREATEST OBSTACLE.

Your mind is involved in everything you do. It governs your thoughts, emotions, behaviour, and engagement with the world. Your mind influences your experience, relationships, performance, wellbeing, and resilience. It pays to train your mind to work for you.

When your mind functions well, you function well. When your mind is troubled, you are much more likely to have trouble and stress in your life.

Meditation/mindfulness practice is fitness training for the mind, strengthening the mental muscles of attention and emotional regulation. Maintaining mental wellbeing is like keeping your body fit and healthy or looking after your teeth with regular maintenance.


Your mind is involved in everything you do. It governs how you think, how you feel, your perceptions, beliefs and opinions, and influences how you experience and engage with life. Your mind forms the basis of your character and personality, your relationships, and your happiness. Your state of mind determines the way you feel about yourself and it affects your physical health all the way down to the level of your DNA and the expression of your genes.

Your mind contains endless possibilities and powers, but when left unchecked it can behave like an untrained monkey - restless, loud, and uncontrollable.

Looking after your mind is arguably the best investment you can make to your overall health and wellbeing, for when your mind works well you work well, but when your mind is troubled or stressed you are much more likely to have trouble or stress in your life.
