Well good on you for your effort. I know it sounds silly but one of the things I find helpful to live more in the moment is to take a moment to describe the world around me.
Like i am in a 10’ by 13’ room that has a bookcase on the far wall. The walls are painted light blue. I feel the slight breeze from the fan. Also describe how you are currently feeling.
It’s really hard at first as the vocabulary for those feelings are hard to come by but it gets easier the more you practice. Most people that are on autopilot don’t feel anything so trying to describe how you feel and describing where your environment. Breaks you out of autopilot.
@[email protected] That’s intriguing! I’ll see if I like doing this in my obsidian daily note :) My daily note consists of a list of timestamps which I used a template to automatically place in my bullet pointed daily-note lists, each timestamp has a thought that I have next to it usually, so I’ll try incorporating those descriptions you’re talking about into that!
