we are going to take our thoughts and emotions seriously, as if they are real, as if the blabbering mind makes any sense of it, it is then natural that we’ll experience more pain and suffering. On the contrary, when you are mindful and remind yourself that just because your mind is talking doesn’t mean you have to listen to it; just because you are feeling low doesn’t mean life is actually bad. It helps you to quickly transcend the restive tendencies of the mind.
