Again and again. My favourite song by Damian Marley:
Vexation of mind is a waste of time.
Negative thinking, don't you waste your thoughts.
Verbal conflict is a waste of thought.
Physical conflict is a waste of flesh.
People will always be who they want.

At the moment I'm reading a wonderful book. It's written in German and titled: Ökonomie der Hexerei oder Warum es in Afrika keine Wolkenkratzer gibt (2004). Author David Signer, who studied Ethnology, Psychology and Linguistics, travelled Westafrica meeting healers and fetishists to provide an insight into their methods of healing and evocation. About witchcraft and how it is used to satisfy one's own envy to finally prevent the success of the other. But finally he concentrates on postive energies.
Healers regard people who are used to envy or execrate as dangerous to health because they host negative thoughts what means consumptive energy. Hence on behalf of their traditional practices they try to protect themselves and their clients from those evil abilities.
For myself that means to be more consious about the way how I think. When a resentful or a bitter thought comes to my mind I try to accept it. Because it is there anyhow, but I try to replace it by a comfortable one.

I was very annoyed with myself today. When I realised that I am still not able to control my feelings and hence say things I absolutely regret after. Then there is nothing else to do than to understand that I made a mistake and to concentrate on not doing again. Learning from mistakes and replace by doing better in future.
