Anita,

I have since looked into mindfulness and it is very similar to some teachings I have received before.

What would your advice be to regain control of your thoughts? See at this moment I am not in control of my thoughts and they are dark and depressing and I feel like it is stopping me from getting anything done. I want to regain control of my thoughts and I want to feel the drive to find a job (as I am currently unemployed) and start earning so I can do things with my life.

I feel like I have always lacked a drive or motivation to get things done and I want this to change but once again I do not know how to do this.

many thanks Anita your replies mean a lot to me.
