If you have a garden in your backyard, you would be upset if someone went back there and threw toxic waste on it. However, many people let such toxic waste contaminate their minds. This “waste” is in the form of fears and anxieties; worrying about the past and the future contaminates your inner garden. Just as gardeners fiercely protect their gardens, you must stand guard over the garden of your mind and let only the right kinds of thoughts enter. On an average day, the average person has 60,000 thoughts. 95% of them are the same thoughts he or she had the day before. People spin their wheels worrying about problems and negatives in their lives, serious or trifling. This is an enormous waste of energy and potential. The garden of your mind is the one thing in the world that you have total control over. You can’t control what happens around you, but you can control how you respond to it. When your mind is unfocused or distracted by worries, you waste energy and tire yourself out. Over time this energy waste impacts your creativity, motivation, and overall mood. 
Therefore, managing your mind is the key to managing your life ☮️💜🎨🌱🌼🌸
