In today’s time, it is very difficult to keep oneself steady. Only those people can remain calm who have faced great betrayal in life, or those who are naturally very peaceful by nature. A person becomes steady only when they come to understand the reality of life. When someone truly faces life’s truths, they automatically become stable. From the way they work to the way they live, everything about them becomes balanced. A time comes in life when it no longer matters what others say. At that point, a person does only what their heart tells them to do — and whatever they do, they do it wonderfully.
The most important part of keeping oneself steady is the human mind. If a person can keep their mind in the right direction, it means they have become mentally fit — that is, if something needs to be done, they do it; if not, they don’t. When a person makes a decision calmly and steadily before doing or starting anything, they make themselves so strong that whatever task they do or make others do, they can take strong and confident decisions about it.
Keep the mind steady.
A person can stay steady only when their mind is steady. Until the mind is stable, one cannot do anything properly. To keep the mind calm and balanced, a person first needs to develop themselves. The mind remains healthy only when the body is healthy. Putting too much pressure on the mind over any matter is one of the most harmful things a person can do.
That’s why it’s said that if a person’s mind is happy and peaceful, then no matter what work they do or what situation they face, they will handle it calmly and wisely. Therefore, one should not think too much about what has already passed, nor worry about what is yet to come. Learn to stay happy in the present moment. When you start finding happiness in the present, you’ll notice many positive changes within yourself.
To keep the mind steady, never overthink any issue. If you find it hard to forget something, keep yourself so busy with work or other activities that you don’t have time to think about it. The mind becomes restless only when you keep thinking about one thing repeatedly or allow too many thoughts about it. So always remember this golden rule: be happy with whatever you have today. Never be anxious about what has happened or what might happen in the future.
Meditation is necessary.
Meditation is very important to keep the mind under control. Have you ever wondered why all the great saints and wise people always meditate? They do so to keep their minds calm and to direct their thoughts in the direction they desire. That’s why meditation is essential for everyone.
In the beginning, when you sit for meditation, many thoughts will arise — some good, some bad — but always remember, with time, all those thoughts begin to fade away. You might have noticed that when you sit for prayer for 20 to 30 minutes, many random thoughts come to your mind. But if you continue this practice regularly, a time will come when your mind becomes pure — no thoughts will disturb you, and your focus will remain only on your prayer.
That is the power of meditation. It teaches you never to give up in the middle of anything you do. The same happens with meditation — if you keep practicing it regularly, after a few days, you’ll develop the strength to control your mind. That’s why it’s very important to sit in meditation for at least 20 to 30 minutes every day.
Recognize the mind game
A person becomes a victim of mind games when they can’t control their own mind or don’t know how to use it properly.
A mind game means that someone else starts to rule over your mind — or in simple words, someone else begins to control your thoughts. This happens when that person becomes deeply imprinted in your mind. You start to feel that you can’t live without them. That’s when the other person begins to manipulate your mind according to their will.
You must become so strong that even if something happens right in front of you, it doesn’t affect you. This means that no matter how attached you are to someone, you should have the strength to let them go in a moment if needed — and whatever they say or do, it should not disturb your peace. When you live happily on your own terms, no one’s mind game can affect you.
A mind game is not just a game — it’s psychology. When someone understands your psychology, they start reading you so well that they can predict your every move and manipulate you accordingly. That’s why you must make yourself so strong that no one can ever use you or control your mind.

Boosts Energy and Motivation: A fit body provides a clear and active mind, which helps you stay motivated and less distracted.
Reduces Negative Thoughts: Exercise can distract from overthinking and obsessive thoughts, helping the mind stay steady.
Promotes Better Sleep: Quality sleep resulting from regular physical activity helps the mind recover and maintain emotional balance.
