Just as with health of the body, you also need to #train your #mind and #willpower deliberately. This includes training in concentrated work, #conscious observation of rising thoughts and #emotions combined with the selection of good and positive ones, mental discipline of saying no to unwanted desires or ideas, or periods of silence. We have little control over what we encounter, but we have complete control over how we react to it.
These are #exercises that should find their place in #schools.
