Daydreaming and Worrying
Whenever we are in a
situation where we need to listen to a lengthy lecture or discussion, we often
find ourselves drifting into daydreaming or worrying. In this article, let’s
explore how to handle both of these distractions.
First, let’s focus on
daydreaming. While daydreaming, we engage our imagination and envision
ourselves in places we have never been. We may picture ourselves in exotic
locations, filled with joy. However, not all daydreaming is positive. We must
also be aware of destructive daydreaming, which can lead us to compare
ourselves negatively with others.
We have a choice
between engaging in daydreaming or worrying. Daydreaming allows us to escape
the present moment. At least in daydreaming, we can create a world free from
pain. On the other hand, worrying is far more destructive; it can overshadow an
interesting lecture or discussion and pull us into thoughts of the past, which
we cannot change, or the unknown, which generates fear.
While we have the
option to daydream or worry, to become more effective and productive, it is
better to sideline both distractions and focus on the present.
