Repetition.No one masters anything with a single thought or a single experience. You have to repeat the thought, the experience, again and again.Have you ever considered meditation? I mean true meditation, as in, clearing the mind of all thought and emotion and achieving true focused attention.Not really because its too damn noisy here where I live. I'd have to go up north to the mountains and hills to basically hike to escape from any noise.Noise just makes for more vigorous practice. When you meditate effectively the noise is meaningless because it never enters your attention (unless it is the noise that you are focused on). In fact, some noise can help augment the experience, as it can be something to focus on rather than thoughts and emotions.I remember hearing a story, in a book by Chuck Norris actually, about a monk that would meditate to the Bee Gees because it made the practice more effective, and it showed just how much he had mastered it.

I don't, but at the same time I don't want to be this overemotional wreck.
Damn. I guess I can try that.
Quote from: Decimator Omega on May 10, 2016, 02:10:01 AMDamn. I guess I can try that.Remember, trying isn't enough. If you want it to have an impact you have to actually do it.Just know that it takes time to get used to. Don't expect to enter a true state of focused attention the first time you meditate. Or the second time, third , etc. In fact, what you should do is not worry about it at all. Just focus.Thoughts and emotions will arise, just let them. They will pass, and then some others will arise. Just let them as well. Eventually the 'noise' will dissipate. Don't worry about when, just know the truth that it will so long as you remain focused and keep practicing.
You know I've kinda learned something
