i'm curious. people always talk about "living in the moment." concentrating on the here and now, and forgetting everything else. are people actually able to do this? my brain does not do here and now. my brain is always leaping ahead, making lists, thinking about my next work project, going going going. my body is not far behind. i very rarely just sit down and BE. i think that just BEING sounds like heaven. i would love, just once, to concentrate on the project at hand, rather than mentally racing ahead to the next thing on my list. i think my problem is that i take multi-tasking to a really stupid level. because while i'm cleaning the kitchen, making dinner, listening to my son read a book and thinking about an ad concept...i also tend to throw away the car keys and put the telephone in the microwave. it's bad. especially when i'm stressed or over-busy. so...i'm curious. do you guys do this too? is there anyone who doesn't? HOW?? because if i have to spend one more minute looking for that thing that i just put away somewhere while i was doing something else...my husband will probably kill me. if i can find him. i better go look in the microwave.
