What activities do you lose yourself in?
Writing. Always writing. I need to set alarms when I’m writing because I can easily lose all sense of time and place.
I use specific music to send me into a deeply focused state and this allows me to get plenty of work done. The only trouble is I might forget an appointment or spend the whole day at my desk and only look up when the sun is setting.
Watching movies can send me to another dimension, too and when I was painting I could easily lose myself in pushing paint around a canvas.
I love swimming in the sea too but these days I’m a bit more aware of waves, sunburn and surfboards to let myself relax too much.
One of my guilty pleasures is to get a little drunk and go watch a great band whose songs I know by heart. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to stand being in a mosh pit again (ew people) but it’s a pleasurable memory.
