I've been practicing Buddhism for over a year now. I say 'practicing' because it's a constant challenge to remember the principles of cherishing others ... especially a few.
I mean, really, if I had it all down I'd be a Buddah and that's not likely to happen.
But aside from the teachings, readings and meditation, one simple exercise has helped me deal with the delusions of attachments:
I visualize my mind is a calm body of water ... no ripples and no waves.
Whenever I get rattled by a stressful day or painful memory, I close my eyes and go to this peaceful place and visually still the 'ripples' of my mind.
Now when I'm running by the Trinity River and the water is still, I smile and know what that's like.
