The Ultimate Exercise in Positive Thinking
Meditation - Break the Negative thinking cycle
"You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it," Albert Einstein
What did he mean by this? A mind consumed with depression or anxiety tends to be locked in a cycle that deepens the anxiety and depression. Meditation enables the subconscious mind to solve the problems rationally and with absolute perfection, while the conscious mind takes a holiday from its self-destructive state. The alternative, positive thinking, process secured through meditation is best described using an analogy:
A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well.
