I'm not sure with which exercises tos tart but for sure they
have to be simple and not too boring.
I personally am getting thoughtless ("without
thinking/thoughts") shorter episodes recently. Those are 3-10
minutes long. I induce those states 2 ways: with walking in a
special long corridor that i have at my work place and the 2nd
trigger is laying down and starting with special breath
exercises. Those are intermediate level exercises and you as a
beginner never achieve anything with those and even for me those
exercises are challenging but more and more easy every week now
and they start to kick in itself already without any intent. So,
i can't give you such exercises but and can't give more
advanced either which i haven't myself done yet. So, reasonable
is to start with simpler exercises.
Maybe we can do first exercise outside of wows activity. The
title of the exercise can be like: Find your opinions. After you
dinf some then find more and the next step is to ocnclude
something. It is wise not to give you more hints what you will
ocnclude etc.
That step looksl ike this card which has drawn a You/Seeker on
it who seeks something:

And after you complete our first step of the exercise i describe
what you have achieved and what to do as a next step. The next
step is like that card where you see yourself drawn as with
suprised face and scared little bit:
HTML https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hearthstone_gamepedia/images/a/a2/SW_433t.png
So, let's title your 1st exercise as Finding opinions and it is
liek this:
1. When your eyes stop on something then you get a thought in
your mind. For example if you see a dog you may get a thought
that "this is a dog" and it can be a loud voice in your head
saying "a doggg...." or a voiceless recognition like a microfear
feeling because dogs bite or a micropositive feeling because you
love dogs, etc. First step is to recognize that you have a
reaction to everything in this life. If you hear some noise then
again some reaction, with food and other senses too. Recognize
that you have like a file/folder for each thing. Get a proof
that you have a reaction to everything and look those reactions.
You can look at a ship in Wows and see that you get a special
reaction to every ship.
2. You are convinced that you have a file system for every thing
that describes all those things. And now go deeper and start to
monitor what those files contain. Look at the reactions. For
example, if your reaction was that "dogs are scary" either by a
clear voice in your head or by a voiceless fear emotion then see
that the dog file in your mind has not only a neutral
description of a dog (4 legs and teeth) but has something more.
Look what more it has beside a neutral description. You should
find that the information file of the dog has also an
evaluation/judgement wheather dogs are good or bad or scary etc.
So, if you see clearly that your reaction to seeing a dog makes
additionally a judgement then this is a nice discovery. Watch
submarines in the game and see if there is a judgement too
against those vehicels. Try to see such good-bad judgement
inside every reaction you get in your day. The previous step
asked you to discover that there are certain reaction-files to
things but this step went deeper and started to extract
judgement lines from the reaction files.
3. I think this is enough for the beginning. In a way the step 2
is already like the 2nd card in our quest, but we will have more
steps and cards and the 2nd card is not totally done with our
steps yet. So, do the 2 steps at first and good luck. You don't
have to be scared that you get so scary result as is the face o
nthe 2nd card. No, not yet. But if you proceed to the card 50
let's say, one day, then it will be more scary usually than the
drawn face on the card. So, relax and sit back and don't be
afraid. Good luck.
Yor mental system gets al lthe time thought and feeling/emotions
so you don't need any special imaginary dog example as we had
above.
You can look the below video for example for start and see which
reactions appear. That would be the step 1. The step 2 above
suggest you to look deeper into those reactions and find
judgements.

Our Seek-n-Discover exercise trained your mental eyes to look
what's going on in your mental system. You can continue such
observation exercise for next 20 years now which is a typical
period for that exercise. The exercise showed that there are
evaluations/opinions about everything in style "good or bad".
For example if you notice a cat then you can observe that you
have a good feeling rising because your opinion aobut cats is
good. Beside good feelings there can be thoughts which verbally
say in your head "a nice cat there...". Obejects/stimuluses rise
some neutral descriptions (4 legs, teeth, tail), some judgements
("i like cats") and some feelings (emotions). Let's understand
that all 3 things are separate from each other.
Look at the below video and tell which feelings you got. Did you
got an anger, or/and, a cry, or laughter, or confusement, etc.
Write down all such feelings and we call them next with a term
Emotions.

(video can be watched on the Youtube web site only:

)
If you get many feelings then write down their appearing order.
Write down your thoughts and their appearing order. Describe
your judgements, did you like what you saw, did you think
something was not polite or cool, etc, all your opinions, mainly
what was right-wrong and good-bad. And write which part of your
opinions were neutral and we call them just descriptive as for
cats were (4 legs and tail).
So, this video is your first exercise to observe 3 different
reactions. But you should take any event from your day and
observe this way.
You can do that exercise for 9 years.
When you do exercises then you forget any goals. Keep the
attitude that you have no goals with the exercises. It is very
important because having a goal strengthens bad things (it
strengthens the belief that there is You who does/gets
something). There are no goals no nothing, just there is a
doing, the exercises are done, but no goals, no nobody. Okay?
If you struggle etc then you can come share. I can't make plans
but if i try to plan then next plan is to move to breathwork. We
start to inhale and outhale in special ways and continue
observations. For you everyday life including your computer
games playing all that should already have a positive impact.
Later I can add illustrative HearthStone game cards like above
ones to illustratate this exercise. At the moment i don't have
an idea which cards. But let me know if you need at all those
cards.

We can proceed to the 3rd step/exercise.
The 3rd is to look the nature, animals and plants, and try to
connect ith them. The main goal is to try to imagine that the
piece of nature has no Self, they don't know that they exist, a
more correct phrasing is that "there is no feelinf of me". If i
ask you to try to forget who you are then you probably
automatically just stop your thoughts for 5 seconds and then on
the 6th second a random thought comes still in and reminds that
you are you and you have name and a bicycle etc. But the first
seconds without any thoughts were something like emptyness
right? So, that emptyness is quite close to the truth but also
try to understand that thee is no "me"-thoughts at all, for
example no such thoughts like "i have to get food/victory", no
such selfish/personal thoughts because there is no present of a
person/you, jsut empty chaotic thougths, okay? And if you look
nature, plants animals, then try to imagine that they don't feel
the Self and don't think to the future and don't ever think
about the past, they just act in the present moment, it is
called "here and now". So, watch the video and iamgine to be the
animal i nthe video and imagien that he has no feeling of
Me/Self, no name no stats no nothing, and no plans no recalling
of the past, jsut acting here and now immediately, they just act
and do and be. Watch any piece of nature, or the video, and try
to sense that the animal has no feeling od self and no feeling
of time, there is just a happening, something happens and they
follow the happening, or, ou may phrase it as they just are in
the present moment, there is no free weill, things just happen,
there is no character in that video, no wishes and no
preferences, just a happening. Can you get my point, what those
animals "feel"? There is nobody feeling, it happens, but i just
use the human language word Feel to help you understand. Watch
and imagine that those animals in the video has no intentionas,
no plans, no feeling of the Self/Me, no nothing, there is just a
happening.
And oyu can do that 3rd exercise with any piece of nature,
including with you Wows battles where actually you don't have
any free will either, but it is little bit more complex to
comprehend that, we talk about it on the exercise 7-8. Here in
the 3rd exercise watch the video and feel what i suggested about
the animals.
Godspped.
