Select a day and look inside deeply.
I had Selected a day when there were fewer noises from outside and there was ample time to see how we felt, from morning to evening. These were the precious moments we needed to understand ourselves. Every day I was an adviser for family members, subordinates, coworkers, relatives, and even strangers, but on that day, I was a person just looking inward.
I did my routines: I reacted, felt angry, managed my emotions, had regrets, thought again about how to correct the situations, went back to what happened a few weeks ago, concluded that the future is not easy, isolated myself, again participated in the process, and numerous thoughts regulated my feelings from the start of the day to the end. Finally, I had a few moments that day to say, Yes, "it is possible to make things work". 
In the meantime, we have a glance at a quote on the wall by Charles R. Swindoll saying that life is 10% what happens and 90% how we react to it. At the same time, we read, "Whatever brings you down will eventually make you stronger, as said by Alex Morgan. These adages gave me new energy to change the direction of my thinking.
Our minds swirl through experiences, prejudices, fresh ideas, current information, and a lot of comparison. Getting some moments to draw a big picture of days to come gives a sense of focus on real things, in between problems and possibilities, limitations and lights beyond tunnels. On that day of exclusively tracing my behaviour, the power of emotions is closely monitored, all centred on my inner feelings, with a few allowed to flow outside.
In the middle of tracking my thoughts, I realised that preaching is much easier than practising those theories in managing my own affairs.
The Whole process of monitoring thoughts for one day confirms that knowing the rules of the game does not make us good players.
Where are we today compared to where we expected to be, and what are the reasons for the shortfall? All these issues make our thinking overwhelming.
In the middle of the day, I felt that I had used more negative words and had no time to insert positive ones. I realised that I needed to rework everything to find some basics to come out of messy conditions. I further realised that I have to fix the problems not through arguments but by spreading the message of bottomlines that support all our endeavours.
By the evening, we started musing about my own victories in our 20s and 30s and just exploring the mechanisms to transfer that enthusiasm to the youth of today around us.
Again, I went back to "self" and instantly concluded that I was immensely attached to outcomes for most of my years and that limited steps were taken to go to the root of the matter, frequently disturbing my paths of success. No regret. I stood up and said, I have time to create some good stories even when people think their time has gone. 
In the whole day of thinking, one thing was missing. It was extremely important. It was at the core of what we do every day. It was realised at the time of going to bed that all individuals have unique qualities separate from others, and those qualities may be grounds for breakthrough for anyone.
It was also realised that everything cannot be on the same footing and that our role is to motivate others and keep ourselves energised and engaged, and beyond that, we have to wait. In the end, I deeply felt that I had to ask questions more often than the number of questions I asked others to make the changes that I had longed for.
We can’t track all thoughts, but at least the prominent ones, and see how they work like fuel for all our actions every day and in all situations.
