body and brain are similar in nature

they are meant to be used and stimulated

I used to consciously train my body

but never realized that I should have applied the same actions to my brain

I should have consciously controlled my mind as well

in fact, relaxed mind is needed before sleep; focused mind is needed before producing something tidy and logical

I used to watch people meditating, but didn't truly understand why they were doing that

now I do
