Calm the Monkey Mind

Is your mind like a monkey?

Jumping from branch to branch in the jungle of pressures and deadlines... flitting from one thought to another, what’s been done or should have been done, what others did or didn’t do...

Should we stop the mind from being busy, busy, busy? 

Tame the fidgety, fussy, unruly, undisciplined mind? 

Train the mind to stop monkeying around?

Or should we harness the energy and the playfulness of the monkey mind and utilise it in a more constructive manner?
