Daydreams can be delicious and fun. They can be harmless ways to soothe yourself when right here and now is not so pleasant or doesn’t fully capture your attention. But as a frequent habit, drifting off away from the present reality is not so good.
Our imaginations are the source of great creativity. We can imagine something, and then decide to work toward it. But a downside of imagination is escapism, being mindless.
Being mindless is the opposite of mindful awareness of the here and now. Being mindless is the path to missing your life while it is happening, of being so caught up in the past, or some imagined future that you miss. right. now.
Don't give your life away to daydreams!
