Restlessness is often talked about in Buddhism as “monkey mind.” Living in a culture that can’t sit still and has a tweet-centered response time, it’s not surprising that our minds are frequently restless and on the move. When we are dissatisfied with the current conditions, we urgently and relentlessly looking for something better somewhere in the future. Or, we are attempting to keep one step ahead of the results of our past experiences that we feel or believe didn’t go so well. Restlessness, and its close relative worry, are outcomes stemming from how we perceive or view our experience in the world. The clearer we can be about our views and their accuracy and relevance in the present moment, the more we are able to adjust and fine-tune our restless minds and feel more at home now.
