At that time, I would tell my mind: ‘Listen, mind, right now I need to sleep. Let me. When I get up in the morning, we’ll have a good chat. Then I will talk to you and you will tell me your problems. I know you are my friend, and you tell me what I should focus on. I am not denying you or rejecting you. I want to listen to you, but please bear with me for the next few hours.’ 99 per cent of the time it worked. Try this any day. And when you get up in the morning, make sure you honour your commitment. Ask your mind, ‘Okay, what were you saying last night?’
