Complete immersion
Living day by day / Issue 1,492
Oh, hi friends!
My favorite moments are those of complete immersion.
Sitting in a theater with my phone switched off…
Deep in conversation plotting out a friend's next steps…
Running loops without needing to turn around at a specific time…
Reading a book whose each page is better than the last…
Writing and rewriting a section or line without distraction…
Anything that consists of doing one thing usually makes me happy.
I'm on a mission to seek out more moments of complete immersion.
Slow, steady, sane.
Can you immerse yourself in one good, true thing?
PS — I’d love to hear about your own favorite moments of immersion…
Kara, I am afraid of driving. When I drive, I concentrate and pay attention. I don’t know if this is immersion.
NSFW response, but it's the honest truth: right now it's pretty much just sex. Those minutes of lizard brain takeover are doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Thank you, though, for the idea of seeking out other similarly immersive experiences. I like that thought.
