Yogi: When I come back from work and I have a heavy mind because I have many difficult things happening, what do I do?

Sayadaw: If we do have the wrong attitude, particularly when we’re confused, sometimes it is the thinking that makes us crazy. Then, it is helpful to take a simple object and watch it continuously and don’t allow the mind to think – just being aware continuously – and that helps to calm those excessive thoughts. It is just like a concentration exercise.

When we do a concentration exercise, because we do it simply, it works.
