I just lost 2 hours to this.

I always do it when I'm feeling super low but even when I'm just normally vibing about and listening to music I do it.

This time I've been imagining a dance routine to a cool new phonk remix I found and now I'm like why isn't there phonk zumba? I've been to rock zumba which is fun but it's always dad rock/metal and y'all metal 😮‍💨

Phonk zumba!!!! It would be so good 😭😭😭

I think i need to be more aware of when daydreaming just turns into negative scripting. That happens a lot.

I had to look up what you meant by "negative scripting" and while I get why daydreaming could veer into it, some part of me still thinks it's a good thing to at least engage with it. As I mentioned before, daydreaming helps me notice cognitive patterns of mine since I become a sort of spectator of my own subconscious. Noticing it is the first step towards addressing something I feel to be a problem.

Of course, this is the kind of thing one does when they feel ready for it, I'm not gonna demand that a miserable person go into a sensory deprivation tank and ruminate about their unhappiness.

Yup yup yup it feels like it's recognising when I veer into the scripting and disengage for a bit because I totally do the same thing you say where I have like little breakthroughs in understanding myself if I daydream sometimes.

Lotta talk about maladaptive daydreaming but nobody is out there promoting adaptive daydreaming

Sometimes you gotta leave the captain's cabin and see the ridiculous plays they are putting on belowdecks
