These three words have similarities & differences.
There are different ways & levels of attention, focus, concentration, and then there is daydreaming – which is a sort of focus within; a meditation.
There is not one right way of living for all people. There is a vast range of ways of living, just as there is a range of attention, focus, and also daydreaming.
It is all okay.
Here’s a relative Henry David Thoreau quote:
“If a man does note keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
Listen to YOUR own drummer.
Listen to the music YOU like.
Read the books YOU enjoy.
Do the activities YOU like.
This is not selfish. This is self care.
Take care of yourself first, and if you need to care for others, then you can do so, but make sure you put your life jacket on first.
Attention, Daydreaming, Focus…oh the places you’ll go…
