THIS IS IT, THIS IS IMPORTANT – control your mind, do not let it run rampant with its thought, in idleness focus only on the breath, focus also on the beauty outside of yourself and on people especially.
This is the key to avoiding the depression of your ego trapped in your monkey mind; mindfulness is everything, consciousness is everything.
Remember what it was like to be focused outside of yourself on your environment at 2:30 in the morning and then what joy came from opening your window and smelling fresh air, let that gratitude and focus exist outside of yourself in the fresh air.
