Living in the moment

  1. Does anyone ever forget to live in the moment? I don't even have to be stoned, I sit and think about all kinds of things, day dreaming and then force myself to come back to reality. Just not in my present time. Drifting backward or ahead of myself not enjoying RIGHT NOW. Lately I catch myself doing it and force myself to just enjoy where I currently am.

    I tend to hide behind video games and be avoidant. I have to force myself back into reality once in a while.

    I do relatively consider myself a lone wolf for the most part but I do enjoy good conversation with a few people now and then with some smokage. These are some things that just cross my mind.
     
  2. I feel like I live everywhere buy in the present. For some reason my mind won't forget certain things about the past and they just randomly pass through my mind like "hey remember that time when you lost that friend because of...". Also, I'm living a moment of my life where everything I do is supposed to be in benefit of my future. College, studying languages, getting a driver license and so much more stuff that I'm just doing because they're necessary for the future...

    So yeah, I kind of feel like you. I also enjoy videogames and sometimes after being playing for a long time, high or not, I'm like wow what time is it and realize I just lost a lovely evening
     
  3. The mynah birds in Aldous Huxley's Island fly around shouting messages at them to remind them of being mindful. The live in a strangley engineered form of utopia.


    I definitely feel that smoking weed makes me feel more mindful. It gives me a tendency to focus on the current moment in time (both situationally and emotionally).

     
  4. I feel the same but for me I can go off in a tangent not do anything just think about life etc or I just do it then think later

  5. I have trouble living in the present, even when I'm high. I think about the past and the future, near and far, a lot. Think of different worlds.
    My "present" is usually very boring and lonely, many days sober or high are spent sitting in the same spot in my apartment with no WiFi, tv, computer, -126kbps cell internet, browsing the few internet pages that load.

    Otherwise I'm in the wilderness, and then I can often live in the moment as that feels real to me.
     
  6. I tend to think too much about the future and how time is passing too quick, and thats only really when I am NOT high. Its depressing.
