Another of the great mental laws is the Law of Relaxation. In all mental working effort defeats itself. This is just the opposite of what we find on the physical plane, but it will not surprise us because we know that in many cases the laws of mind are the reverse of the laws of matter.
On the physical plane, the harder you press a drill the faster will it go through a plank. The harder you hammer a nail the sooner does it go into the wall. But any attempt at mental pressure is foredoomed to failure because the moment tension begins, the mind stops working creatively. When you try to force things mentally, when you try to hurry mentally, you simply stop your creative power.
In all mental working be relaxed, gentle, and unhurried for effort defeats itself.
…In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength…(Isaiah 30:15).
What great news! Not only is relaxation good for us, it also strengthens our ability to accomplish our mental work. Its good and good for us.
Relax and excel,
Z gardener
