I am sharing two personal experiences of how yoga has helped me control my mind.
Experience 1: One day when I got up in the morning, I was in a very bad mood for reasons unknown to me. My wife wanted me to book a train ticket for her to Ahmedabad and I started booking the same online on the computer. But when I started entering credit card details, the computer hung up and by the time it started working the reservation was full in that night train. I started again and reserved a seat in a day train. I entered credit card details for making payment and was waiting for the one time password on my phone, when the phone battery got discharged.
These situations were adding fuel to fire, I started getting frustrated and to top it, my wife started shouting at me saying, “You can’t do one thing correctly.” I was controlling myself, and then my two and a half year old granddaughter tore my yoga book which was lying there. I shouted at her, and she started crying.
