Hello Fee,

I experienced the same problem when i started practicing mindfulness. As you know our speech and actions are manifestations of our thoughts. It can be quite hard to be mindful of your thoughts (without trying to adjust them) and at the same time following the precepts by controling your speech and your actions.

Personally, what i try to do is to observe my mind without following it. I also try to pause for one or two seconds before i speak or act!! I believe that the more you become mindful/aware, the more you will be in control and wont get lost in dreaming for so long. Also right speech is somehow linked to right listening, so being mindful of what you listen to and the way your mind interpret it will help you achieve right speech.

Regards,
Bundokji
