A Well-Tended Mind

The mind is an amazing source of information and inspiration, yet, left unattended, it can also cause significant misery. Unfortunately, we rarely give our minds the same level of care we grant other aspects of our lives, even though it has a significant influence over our well-being. We often treat our minds like an appliance or computer inherited long ago, expecting peak performance without regular maintenance, ignoring blinking warning lights that signal a need for repairs or upgrades. The truth is, our internal operating system needs ongoing care if we expect it to function well.
