That's a really interesting point - it just seems more difficult to get those living fantasies going, but maybe that is something to get obsessed about rather than the opposite.

I do try and do staying in the moment / mindfulness stuff - just when my head is in a spin, it takes over and I can't always find that space in there to do the mindfulness.

Thanks for this - Soup
