Both the internet and plenty of books are full of advice about how to control our thoughts and our minds except that they generally don't work. This doesn't prevent the authors from selling their formulas like a magic elixir.
The problem is that they advertise something that the human mind cannot adequately achieve.
Our mind fires off random thoughts at rapid pace and we cannot always process them fast enough. Many of them play on our deepest fears and insecurities.
The best we can hope for is mitigation and placing them within buckets of seriousness and prioritize them. Even then, just when we think we have achieved a method that works, some new crisis will derail our organization once again.
That is because the brain is a noise generation machine which means it's output cannot be controlled. We can work on cleaning up our personal issues but that does not mean the mind won't operate any less randomly.
It's firing tennis balls at us like a catapult and what we need to do is become a better player.
