Do you a plan not to get cocky ? . Arrogance and over confidence has been an issue for me- it has tended to lead me down the "I can handle it" , "f..k it" path. At the moment I have been exploring the way of finding things everyday to be thankful for and post on the gratitude list (see other thread). It keeps me in a good place.
I am at day 29 - I have so much more freedom in my mind than I did in the second week. I was still very restless, and my obsession was very powerful. It will get better for you in time (impatience was also one of my problems). So I started trying to remind myself to focus on little things that came into my attention eg the sound of a bird, a pleasant colour or shape, how smooth something was, the shape of a cloud, someones laugh etc etc. It really helped and you can go through a whole day doing it.
