darren_strangerJust an interesting thing i noticed this morning, that's probably worth remembering, and ties in to the 'silence is golden' post i wrote the other week.
This morning i was doing my t'ai chi form in the little park. My mind was wandering all over the place and i was making mistakes. At one time i went from thinking about the mistake i had just made, to the need to stop thinking about other things and concentrate on what i'm doing, to the need to be able to not think while doing poomsae so as not to make mistakes, to how that might apply to a self defence situation, to Xena, Warrior Princess (via "act, don't react"), to things i'd been reading on LiveJournal. In the midst of all that, i did a move that seemed to flow really well and brought my mind back to what i was supposed to be doing. As soon as i stopped all the chatter in my mind, i noticed the trees in front of me suddenly come sharply into focus and had a few moments of crystal clarity before my mind raced away again with a thousand distracted thoughts (starting with writing this post in my head). So the moment was lost, but i figure it's worth remembering as something to aim to recapture in the future.
Like any skill, i'm sure it's something that will get better with practise.
