Episode notes
Bring Yourself Back With One Question
- Ask yourself "Are you here?" to check whether your attention is in the present moment.
- Use that question to bring attention back to where your body actually is and stop unconscious daydreaming.
Daydreaming Is Awake Dreaming
- Much of our waking life runs on autopilot as we live in memories, fantasies, or future worries.
- Michael Neill frames daydreaming as a kind of awake dreaming that pulls us out of physical reality.
Check For True Presence
- Ask the deeper question "Are you here?" meaning the presence you are, not your self-image or habitual thoughts.
- Check whether you are being the presence you are, not projecting an ego or image into the world.
