use a.... ahhh! it makes a tempo... like tick tick tick... use one of those. play along to very simple beats. I personally dont do this, but my friend does. I just live life and try to capture the same emotion I feel.

That is indeed one of the best ways to learn. I don't know why it is but it sure did help me learn to play piano.
