The trick to deep thinking, is to start thinking in the shallow end of the pool.
Its like...swimming! When your 5 - 6 and you first go swimming, your parents don't throw you in the deep-end and start yelling at you to swim do they?
First things first you have to learn to accept the feel of the water, you have to become accustomed to moving differently and balancing in a new way, you have to accept the restrictions to your movements in some ways, but you also hav to understand you have a different sense of freedom.
Then with the help of thers you start to paddle in the shallow water, safe in the knowledge that if worse comes to worse you just take a step back and your safe on terra firma.
Slowly, ever so slowly...you move out into deeper water, now here its just a little bit harder to swim back, and if fact its more beneficial to reach the other side of the pool, than it is to turn back.
Before you know it your in the adult pool, your feet can barely touch the floor in the shallowest part and your expected to have a reasonable degree of competence.
Then your off into the deepest parts, diving to the floor to test you limits, trying different swimming techniques, doing laps over and over.
And then you have Steve who is off somewhere in the Atlantic...most likely walking on the water rather than swimming but...we can't all be Gods on Earth haha
