    Hey all,

    I'm working on the first thought discipline exercise. It's a bit
    overwhelming to me. I can disengage pretty well from my thoughts
    when I sit down to meditate with the thought control, but then when
    I jump back into the fray in my daily life, it seems that I just get
    overrun. Any attempt to make my thoughts run only along certain
    lines backfires and makes me even more unfocused. Force and tension
    seem to be my habitual ways of getting myself in line, but those
    only go so far.

    I keep hearing that the mind should be coaxed, not forced, and that
    focusing should ultimately be done without tension; but I don't have
    a clear sense of how to get there. Any tips?

    Thanks,
    David
