Ajahn Brahmali offers some practical advice for dealing with restlessness: by reflecting on what is really important in your life, you realise it is your spiritual growth and as a result your mind becomes less interested in worldly matters and settles down. You begin to prioritise your spiritual life, over your worldly life and things.
