WAKE UP AND LIVE By DOROTHEA BRANDE Mental discipline should con note the equivalent in the sphere of the mind which the athlete undertakes for the perfecting of his body. The disciplines here suggested are drawn from all over the world. Not all of them will be equally valuable to all cases, but before rejecting any one of them, ex amine yourself to discover if you are not possibly throwing it aside simply because it does ask you to put a little more restraint on yourself than you find pleasur able. We might begin with this ex ercise Spend an hour a day without saying anything except in answer to direct questions. This should be done in the midst of your usual group, and without giving anyone the im pression that you are sulking or suffering from a bad headache. Present as ordinary an appear ance as possible; simply do not speak. Answer questions just to their limit, and no further; give a full and adequate answer, but do not continue with volunteered remarks which are suggested by the answer or the question, and do not attempt in any way to draw another question from your interlocutor. Oddly enough, this is difficult as a discipline, even for a nor mally taciturn person. We are all so used to breaking into speech whenever we meet one an- ; other, merely in order to give evi- | dence of our friendliness and ac-' cessibility, that we talk almost constantly whenever there is an opportunity. This discipline is found in al most every country which is the home of a genuinely old religion. It is of immense value, and is productive of many results. Probably no two experimenters ever have identical reactions to this practice; they will vary ac cording to temperaments. One thing which soon becomes apparent to many, for instance, is that we seldom say exactly what we mean at our first at- tempt. We rush into speech, see by the expression on another's face that we have not made ourselves en-1 tirely clear, or have misspoken in some way, and try again! This likewise may not make our inten tion understood; we try again. We pause a moment, think the matter over, and issue a clearer statement. But in the meanwhile there are these three earlier attempts to express ourselves still remaining | in our hearers' minds, beclouding i the issue. Another good exercise is this. Learn to think for half an hour a day on one subject. Simple as this sounds, it is first ludicrously hard to do. To begin with, a concrete object should be chosen; a flower, a bottle of ink, a scarf. Do not have it before you; build it up in your mind. With a flower, for instance, describe it to yourself as each of the senses would report it. When that is done, go on to how it grows and where; what it symbolizes, if anything; what uses are made of it. Prom this simple beginning, work up to considering a concrete problem, and finally, to an ab straction. Start with subjects which really interest you, but when you have taught your mind not to wander even for a moment, begLi choosing a subject by putting your finger at random on a news paper or the page of a book, and think on the first idea suggested by the lines you have touched. You will find it very revealing to start this exercise with a pen cil and pad, and to make a slight check on the paper whenever you find your attention slipping. If you are really quick to real ize when your mind has begun to wander, you will find your paper very full for the first few days. The value of this exercise must be obvious to anyone who hopes to engage in original work, or to introduce new procedures of any sort.
