Is it possible to be too present in the moment? If I completely release every prior moment to have a new moment immediately, does this mean I'm choosing unwisely or perhaps there could be issues?
I choose some days to be wide and wildly open. It wouldn't take more than a "hey would you like to" before I'll answer yes. Some of that's because of boredom, but some is also because I want new experiences. I'm craving the different. I used to do this with books, movies, music, media, etc all the time but this past week I did it with every thing. If something new presented itself I went for it, ie classes at the gym, someone in the store asking if I knew where something zzz was or if I'd tried yyy or anything, I did it, without thought of consequences. Thankfully nobody tried to get me to do anything illegal or unsafe, and most people won't anyway. But, they might could have easily. I swear if that one woman calls me doll or baby doll again I'm asking her to take me out to play with me. I did volunteer to help someone I barely know move into a house, because she was talking about needing help and I was there. Why not? I tried a new drink because someone was talking about one. I didn't like it but I tried it anyway. I bought a weirdo coffee but only on the condition that the barista could not say whom bought it, and had to tell them they could choose to be called "cute interesting weirdo" for free coffee or not and buy their own. They bit. I asked about person what they were reading, borrowed their book, and read four pages aloud because I could. All of that was yesterday. Post gym, when I feel like a billion quarters.
I feel this open today too but haven't been to the gym yet.
Am I mildly manic or fully in the present moment? I have no idea.
