It’s like trying to tame a wild horse, right?
The undisciplined mind can go in many directions. Check the news as soon as you wake up. Forgot to send that email yesterday—do it now! Fifteen minutes later, you’re blaming yourself because there’s no way you have time to shower, get dressed, andprepare your lunch to avoid eating out yet again.

Maybe, just maybe, there isn’t a big science about disciplining the mind. Maybe it’s just a matter of training your brain so it works for you instead of against you.
So how can you train your brain—starting today—to give it more discipline?
