Be Skeptical Of Your Thoughts - Your mind tells you what you need to do, why you need to rush, who you need to impress. You think of this parade of thoughts and demands as your "self," but it isn't. Often it is a mechanical reaction that you mistake for your own conscious delideration. Become a skeptic of the mind that pretends to be looking out for your interests, but only seems to lead you into greater stress and suffering. This is not only better for your brainpower but for your life in general.
