The act of thinking, and it's consequences
This happened about 5 minutes ago. I was sitting down, drinking a glass of water. Thinking in about my past and the future. Until I realized: It really all just doesn't exist?
I felt tired today, a specific reason isn't really on the table. Maybe I didn't sleep well, maybe I was unconsciously overwhelmed or maybe just simply tired.
But after realising all the thoughts in my head weren't real. I started seeing again, literally and figuratively. I saw the living room, the colorful flowers in a vase not too far away and my cleaned sports bottle I should store somewhere.
I let go of my thoughts and saw the world for how it really is. Reality is nothing more than what you see and what you do. And this elimination of thinking created peace and silence, but most importantly: energy.
A quick side note: I wouldn't recommend to stop thinking, but maybe try to only think about the present. Like what you see and what can be done right now.
Quick side note 2: Maybe videogames, which I can play endlessly, invoked this sense of presence too. By forcing my mind to focus on what was happening on the screen and the game itself.
