Everyone can learn a new language， but not everyone can reach the same level of expertise. Everyone can engage in bodybuilding， painting or writing， but each will reach a different level. It depends on the inner aptitude， the earnestness， and the time devoted to this activity. Yet， everyone can benefit from these activities. So it is with training towards freedom from thoughts.
Try to calm your mind when you feel agitated. Take a step back in your mind and watch it. This has the tendency to calm and relax the mind. Develop concentration power and meditate. All these actions calm the mind and make it serene.
Following the suggestions and using the techniques mentioned above will start you on a marvelous journey. Practice， read articles and books on the subject and persevere in your training. One day you may meet someone who may teach you personally， as the saying goes： "When the student is ready， the teacher appears."
Try to watch your thoughts during the day， as if they are not yours， without being sucked into them. Become conscious of the fact that you are watching your thoughts. Then this awareness of watching will increase.
You will have to remind yourself incessantly to practice watching your thoughts， as your mind will probably make you forget. Do not give up and you will succeed. If you practice as often as you can， you will be on the way to success. It may take some time， but the effort is more than worthwhile.
You can also increase your peace of mind by developing the power of concentration， by meditation， by physical exercise and by correct breathing.
The important thing is， practice， practice， and practice. Remember！
You are not your mind！
You are not your thoughts！
You are not your ideas！
You are not your beliefs！
They may be yours， but they are not you.
They are instruments you use， do not let them control you.
What remains after they are rejected is You， the real I.
