I Cannot Imagine...

[Edwardo Piet]

Sounds like a mantra.. so you repeat short phrases like "mind not mind" for hours or days? And this helps you concentrate on them?

It becomes a habit which means I am more internalized because I'm habitually thinking about thoughts, looping them - and less externalized.

And you mean this helped you get better at games?? Blimey you're really WIRED!!!

No, I've started doing it since then.

And while we're on the subject of "you" ..something else I'm interested in.. you've said a few times that you never lose your cool online. You pointedly always qualify 'online'. Does this mean you aren't Mr Uber Cool offline/ in real life??

I am but not to the same extent. Offline I sometimes get annoyed but I never take things personally, I just get frustrated form time to time. But generally I'm a pretty mellow guy.

Online I never get in the slightest bit vexed I have a ball.

I'm getting better at offline all the time though. I aim to be as mellow - 100% mellow - as I am online

One of the problems is that offline has the physical aspect of personal space. So I just have to be more Buddhist about it

Interesting post basically.

I still say though,l on the matter of 'over analysis' that you can't do it too much, only badly. If you're doing it right then there's no problem. If it pisses you off then you're either not doing it right or it may be annoying in the present, but in future it may be worth it.
