What happens when you divert your mind?

When you start chanting any holy name of the God then the first changes comes in your life is that you stop thinking the other things all the time or your mind stops overthinking.

In today's world, when people are running after their dreams, trying to fulfill their desired wishes and get money then it becomes very important to keep the holy name in your mind always because once you face the disappointments in life, face challenges, and also if you are heart broken then you become really hopeless and start thinking negative and if you chant the holy name of God then it becomes easy to handle the disappointments and face challenges in life. You don't become hopeless even you become more tough and take things as God's will.
