Only then can I feel at peace from the complex thoughts and countless emotions!

The author wrote "The Mind is Organized" based on research on human relationships and psychology and extensive counseling experience.
Beyond the general understanding of the mind and psychology, it contains specific solutions on how to discover your own emotions, how to manage them, and how to change your life in a certain direction by doing so.
This book, a revised version of "The Power of Mind Design," published in 2021, covers 30 topics related to emotions, psychology, and life balance.
Depression, loneliness, anxiety and fear, love, jealousy and envy, pride, self-esteem, obsession, trauma, senses, sabotage, etc. - the various emotions and psychological factors that all humans have and that sometimes make life difficult are explained from a scientific perspective.
In addition, it presents specific practical tools utilizing 30 different psychological training techniques.


By utilizing various practical tools such as the Daily Quadrant to help you find balance in your daily life, the Basketball Court Thinking Method to reduce obsessions, the Mind Map to discover hidden enemies in your heart, Anchoring to bring about desired emotions, and the Life Graph to discover the value of life, it helps you find a way to reduce the time wasted in life by controlling your emotions and psychology and aiming for a growth-oriented self that utilizes both reason and logic.

This is not a book you just read and leave.
A practice-oriented book to organize your inner self.
It is structured to help you untangle the knots of complex emotions one by one through short stories, questions, and practical exercises.
Through this process, you will become more aware of your emotions, reduce unnecessary thoughts, and gradually regain the power to 'regulate' and 'choose' your life.
You already know.
Rather than trying to force something to change, life begins to change little by little just by organizing your mind.

To rationally view and analyze anger and find a direction, you must first detach yourself from the hatred attached to it and look at it.
That is the first step in mastering anger.
Some people find it uncomfortable that babies get angry.
But that's because they can't tell the difference between anger and hatred.
Babies don't hate others when they're angry.
Once the goal is achieved, the anger usually subsides.
Of course, if you are always the one who provokes your anger, you may end up hating them.
However, if you get angry at someone because you hate them, the cause and effect are reversed.
You're just wasting unnecessary energy and putting yourself in a more negative direction.
Even if it's someone you hate, it's human nature to be willing to go along with them whenever they help you achieve your goals.
That's how humans have survived.
When hunting in groups and having a common goal, we have collaborated even with people we disliked.
It's something we need to survive.
So we think this direction is reasonable.
But when I see someone I actually hate, I get angry.
Why is that?

Discovery and Understanding of My Heart 6.
From "Rage: A Useful Engine When You Know How to Handle It"

To understand the balance of the mind, we need to talk about the two seesaws that exist in our mind.
On one seesaw rides stability and challenge.
On the other side of the seesaw, growth and contribution are riding.
Let's start with the first seesaw of stability and challenge.
Stability is the mind that pursues certainty.
They want to get into a company and stay at home with their parents.
Just think of today as being like yesterday, and tomorrow as being like today.
Change is stressful.
That's what I'm pursuing: no stress.
It is a stable and survival-guaranteed situation.
The challenge on the other side is the willingness to enjoy uncertainty.
I want to travel, start a business, or become a freelancer.
It's about experiencing new things and pursuing change.
I hope you experience surprise and excitement from the unexpected.
If either of these two is missing, the seesaw collapses.
So you end up pursuing something else.
But what happens when you suddenly seek a challenge after living a life filled with stability? You'll find yourself seeking stability again.
You will continue to live with one side of your heart broken.
So, if you want to pursue a challenge in a stable situation, you need to think of a way to take on the challenge without giving up stability.

Balance of Life: Two Seesaws that Create Balance in Our Lives

Self-esteem is like a house with two pillars.
One pillar is the idea that you are a 'good person', and the other pillar is the idea that you are a 'right person'.
If these two pillars are not balanced, the house of self-esteem will collapse.
Just because one pillar is too high, you can't put a roof on top of it.
Likewise, the mind becomes sick.
What about brilliant con artists like Victor Lustig, who sold the Eiffel Tower twice, or Bong-i Kim Seon-dal, who sold water from the Taedong River? It's unlikely they'd have high self-esteem.
Because the pillar of righteousness was not established compared to the outstanding ability.
The opposite is also true.
If you are dedicated to working towards a higher ideal or teaching others what they need, you are completing a pillar of self-esteem.
But what if you don't have the skills you desire? Even if it's the right thing to do, the more you do it, the more miserable it becomes.
You may think you're a good person, but your self-esteem is low.
So you start to blame yourself and even blame the world.
I can't be happy.
The house of self-esteem collapses because the pillars of excellence cannot support it.
So there are two ways to boost your self-esteem.
One is to believe in yourself and not do anything wrong, and the other is to work hard at what you want to do and increase your ability.

What if a saboteur has been lurking within you for a long time? It knows you better than anyone else and knows perfectly well how to obstruct and manipulate change without your knowledge.
So this sabotage class is a process that is more difficult for those who are more experienced or older.
As we saw in the previous example, sabotage gives the mind's owner a justification for taking actions that are contrary to his or her goals.
Let me rationalize it.
It would have protected your heart when you were frustrated or felt inadequate.
If we were forced to continue living a life that was off-track from our goals, sabotage would have long been entrenched as a psychological shield.
Sabotage is also armor because of its nature to protect the mind.
So, it is difficult to find the sabotage of these people, and it is even more difficult to admit it to oneself.
In fact, most people can easily spot other people's sabotage, but not their own.
So when I help people identify sabotage, I first create a map of their own inner self, and then I train them to identify sabotage in others.
Next, let's look at the mind map again and try to find self-sabotage.

I will give you an assignment this time too.
This could be the first step towards boosting your self-esteem.
Write down some things that are good for you.
Good for me.
So think about what you need to continue doing.
Please write down at least 5.
................... ...
After you've written everything down, ask yourself:
“Are these really good for me?”
“Do I think it’s good just because other people say it’s good?”
Of course, other people's opinions and social standards may also be necessary.
Because we need to look at it objectively.
But there is no need to follow other people's thoughts.
Take a good look at what you've written and think about whether your past, present, and future self would consider it a good thing.

From “Practice to Raise Self-Esteem”

Life is often likened to breaking out of an egg.
So, I think that once you break out of the egg, you will realize everything and become the master of your life.
But as I live and learn, I feel like our lives are actually coming out from the innermost part of the onion.
Every time a new world opens up, the shell continues to exist.
Continuously learning about aspects of yourself you didn't know about and adapting to a new world is the process of maturing.
If there is someone who walks that path and always makes his own choices, he can become the master of his own mind and the protagonist of his own life.
So it's important to know how much you can choose for yourself.
There are many things that we can choose, but we often mistakenly believe we cannot choose.
For example, health can sometimes seem like something we can't choose.
But we can choose to be healthier.
There are so many choices we can make to improve our health: keeping warm, getting regular sleep, exercising regularly, washing well, drinking plenty of water, creating a healthy environment, and eating well.
We always have more to choose from.
We always have the potential to be more and more valuable.
Potential comes from within.
And give voice to your emotions.
When you learn to understand and manage your emotions, you realize your potential.
