Especially, pretty much everytim I go to the bathroom or take a shower i'll do this and an hour will pass, and I'll be late for whatever is I need to do, and I have seriously screwed myself over and waste SOOOOO much time just daydreaming.
I have read so many books, like eckhart tolle, wayne dyer, stephen covey, and I might get success for a little while and I won't daydream, but then the second I get slightly stressed, like even slightly, and actually if I get really happy too all of a sudden I'll start daydreaming. I've had such incredible experiences where I'm so incredibly present, especially after reading eckhart tolle's books, it's amazing, but then I fall back again... I dunno...
Please help me... I'm wasting so much of my life away daydreaming, and I don't know how to get out of it.. I just don't konw what to do.... it especially happens when I need to focus the most too... I just don't know what to do... I daydream soooooo much, all the time, about EVERYTHING under the sun... I don't know... It's like I go unconscious (but not completely) for an hour or so and then wake up... it's so ridiculous... please help... this has been going ever since I was little... please help me.. I feel like I'm stuck in the past, or in some dream world, and I don't know how to get out.. I just keep reliving the past, and then I start creating these scenarios in my head about the past and the present and etc etc etc ... oh just help me stop... my grades, my friends, my life... I don't want to daydream anymore... |
If you are daydreaming about things you would rather be doing, or things you enjoy (while currently involved in things you do not fully enjoy), then it is your unconscious mind trying to tell you to get back on the right path towards manifesting your passions.
If your daydreaming is seemingly random, a few things help:
1] Nutrition. Believe it or not, eating healthy makes a *MASSIVE* Difference in how your brain functions and how effective you are. Once digestion starts, everything you eat goes straight to your brain, your heart, lungs, sex organs....
I'd highly recommend drinking a cup of green tea every day, and eliminating caffeine from your diet completely. Also make sure you sleep well, and go to bed before midnight. Every hour before midnight is worth THREE afterwards. Your body NEEDS good sleep. It's *NOT* optional.
2] Engaging in activities you enjoy. Do you find you're able to focus more when you're doing something fun? DO THAT.
3] Stop drinking alcohol due to its effects on your brain (an ***occasional*** glass of fine wine is ok)), and if you're dating any psychoactive medication (adderall, ritalin, prozac, etc. etc.) talk to your doctor about coming off of them safely.
4] Instead of focusing completely on ending your daydreams, use them as a signal that you need to take action. Your mind is telling you something, as is your body. LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR MIND AND BODY ARE TELLING YOU, EVERY TIME. Other people can wait, YOUR HEALTH ALWAYS COMES FIRST. PERIOD.
There's a lot more to this, but this will certainly get you at LEAST 75-80% of the way there
