Oh, I don't know. You'd be surprised.

At any rate. You need to be very intentional about what you think about now, too, when you interact with people.
Focus on the conversation at hand and only the conversation at hand at all times.
If you feel yourself starting to drift, learn to reroute. Consider thinking of something else.
Like sheep.

Sure.
People do similar when they are trying to convince themselves to sleep, do they not?
It is an exercise in rerouting your thoughts, one way or another.

Well, I do it quite often...



... Then again, it is my duty, to be the shepherd of a proverbial flock.
So perhaps, for me, it is more normal...?

All jokes aside, I agree.
Controlling ones thoughts is quite difficult, but food is a safe topic.
