I'm not talking about the English type of miles. I'm talking about the miles using the Metrics. 10kilometers each. I must admit I bark more than I bite, and that when nothing happens my impatient side comes forth. I didn't respond to the other idea because I haven't tried them, but i'm gonna

In school, I keep thinking 'Oh doesn't matter, i've got looaads of time'. I've always had the complex of "Don't have to do it right now? I'll do it Laaateeeeer" - Then turn out to either not do it, or do it as little as possible. Same with training, I always believe that the snowball effect will rule in my favour. When I was a kid, I had THE fastest learning speed in the whole Sweden. (That had gotten noted). Now i'm lucky if I can hear things correct the first time without needing to focus.

Bar the learning speed and training part, sounds like me.
Everything just seems so boring pointless and trivial now, keeping focus in midst of stupidity and trifles is a real challenge. If only to get to do something meaningful.

Meh I'm ranting. Can't really offer any advice, sorry.

I found meditating very useful in my younger years to slow down my raging mind.

Find a thing that makes you feel calm. For me, it was a ferny glade in our local temperate rainforest, with a gigantic granite boulder in the centre that I could just sit on and feel the forest thrum around me.

Let that thing that makes you feel calm fill your mind until it is all you are focussing on, to the exclusion of what's around you. (NB: Don't do this in traffic. Do it in a comfortable place; a cushion or pillow to sit on is great.)

Once it has filled your mind and you feel suitably calm, and you no longer have much sense of what's around you, focus on how the air goes in and out of your nose. Keep focussing on that, noting how much air goes in and out; the slight whistle as the air strikes your nose, the feeling of the air going in and out... etcetera.

Continue to do that until you are satisfied that your mind no longer spins at 900km/h, and open your eyes.

You should feel a lot calmer and think a lot more clearly for at least a few hours.

Hope this helps; if you need to ask me anything else feel free to personally message me.

Get a cheap car, take as much crap out of it as you possibly can (seats, dash, trunk liner, windows, carpeting, etc,) put a roll cage in it, put a lexan windshield on it, paint it, and take it to your local short track. A good number of drivers get their start that way.

How do I know? My dad's a race car mechanic/ex-driver. He's worked with guys like Johnny Benson and Brad Keselowski. My grandfather raced against, and fixed cars for, A.J. Foyt and Gordon Johncock at our local short track.

*Cough* Forests are everywhere here, my friend. Pines as far as I can see. Mountains and blablabla. Traffic ain't nothing like other 'modern' countries like it is here

But yeah, i'll try to meditate while either exercizing, fighting or the serene feel I get whenever something really happy happens to me... Like seeing the ones I really like being happy.


>To Brainfreez, I recommend the same thing as MaximmumZero, my dad even had his own priv-company of re-tiring cars. That, and some old folkrace cars on my backyard.
