Being in the present, Living in NOW, controlling yourself & not getting carried away by your emotions..

I had met SoMa when I was in the Bay Area in Summer 2004. I hung out with him and AfroPUA and somehow discounted SoMa's 'ultra chill' vibe. He was so chilled out but I thought that was just him being cool.

I am not sure if he changed after going into the 'Direct' camp or was this way before and I never saw his depth of thought.. Here's something he mentioned here on BB forum, that caught my 'curiosity'.

..... whenever I feel myself getting caught up in something and want to relax. I take notice of my surroundings. For example, I'll focus on the temperature of the air around me, notice the way the wood from the table underneath my fingers feels, notice how my clothes feel against my skin, etc. This get's me back in the present and helps me to focus on what's going on around me rather than getting swept away in a torrent of emotions.

Getting back to the "NOW" is important. Its easy for me to get swept away by a torrent of thoughts.. and find myself lost, confused or TOO INTROSPECTIVE..

Wazzup (IndiaLair) told me on the phone... "Do you want control in life...or do you want to cruise through life"...... Just chill... live in the NOW... not in the PAST or the FUTURE..

My wing "Ramster" alsot mentioned last night when we were talking, that I had this "URGE" to get carried away by thoughts and urge to express all and that was just too much at times....

I am wondering what to do...... HOLD IT BACK a little. Dont get carried away by the URGE.. Know the urge and TAME it.

Thats what I need to do.
