Often quenching desire not that fulfilling and not getting the desire leads to feelings of unpleasantness

Feeling tone – everything produces a pleasant, unpleasant or neutral feeling.

Your brain is forever trying to chase the present moment to understand and react to it.

Body and mind require a balance to function properly and only when it comes into conscious thought (hungry, cold, etc.) do we really pay attention to it.

We are not as separate or distinct from our environment or those around us as our brain perceives it.

The relation between these two is one of the worlds great mysteries Can be said that mind is what the brain does.

Mind and brain and intricately linked and can be considered one as they develop together.

How we focus our attention and how mindful we are have direct consequences on the brain.

Use recurring, everyday events such as going to the bathroom as reminders to be mindful

Try doing just one thing at a time in order to cultivate mindfulness.

Best way to improve mindfulness is through meditation One of the most important steps your an take to shape your thoughts, actions and brain.

Being mindful simply means having good control over your attention.

Trust that others actions, good or bad, will be rewarded or punished respectively

You don’t have to be the justice system.Be careful about attributing intentions to others.Recognize that pleasures and rewards are fleeting and often not nearly as great as what we build up in our heads.

Aim for a mind with no preferences, free from reactions.

Not disappointed or ecstatic with charms of life, simply see things as they are – neither good nor bad. Engaged with world but not troubled by it. Can view things as unbiased and not react in a negative way.

With equanimity, things have only characteristics, not demands.

Craving something, more than simply desiring it, is what leads to suffering. Can desire something without craving it to happen or play out a certain way.Can infuse a negative memory with a positive to one to slowly uproot it Look for and let positive events sink in and savor it. Consciously look for positive experiences.

When aware that brain doesn’t know the difference between a thought and reality, you realize how important it is to control your thoughts and reactions to situations.

Our reactions to situations are either positive or negative cycles as it is reinforcing either way

First and second darts – mental and physical discomforts unavoidable (first dart) but our reactions to them often amplify the suffering (second dart).

Simulating makes you chase carrots which aren’t as good as you think they’ll be and sticks aren’t as bad Most emotions in real life not as intense as what we simulate and usually contains limiting or simplistic beliefs.

Simulating an amazing evolutionary advantage but it brings us out of the present moment – present only place where one can find true happiness and often induces negative emotions.

When you see your body as distinct, as what defines you, that leads to suffering, fear and weakness as you take the body’s weaknesses and frailties for your own.

Let go of things that hurt and strengthen what brings joy

If brain is cause of suffering it can also be its cure.

With this knowledge, be mindful of your thoughts as over time they will be ingrained
