    I don't believe it's possible to control one's mind. It's entirely possible to control your response to thoughts, though.

    you are your mind so you are in control. but the brain tends to automate a lot of thinking so it might seem like its out of control. try this. this will calm u down and help you get your thoughts together.

    Your mind generates your concious existence. Your mind controls you completly.

    you are right....you are not your brain.....Buddhist call it a drunken monkey.....the idea is to quiet it down with meditation......and understand who you really are
