Many people are addicted to all sorts of things such as drugs or alcohol but one of the greatest addictions that is rarely documented is the addiction to thinking.

 You contemplate on many things at once just to beat the horrific deadlines and to please your demanding boss. One moment you are thinking about a delicious restaurant to eat, the next moment you are questioning what exactly are you doing with your life!

 Thinking will only confuse you. Thinking will lead you away from the simplicity of the present moment.

 Hence, you must remember the essence of slowing down. Give yourself the break it deserves through mindfulness and meditation.

Whenever you feel like you're going to burst, calm yourself down. Breathe in and out, hold your breath for a while, breathe slowly and repeat. A higher form of this practice is called meditation. Personally, yoga and meditation help me regulate my emotions better.
