In reply to Linda. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm happy it sparked thoughts of good immersive memories and inspired motivation for new ones. You are certainly not alone in getting immersed in feelings of wrongness. I look forward to your new creative outlet and hearing about the healthy immersive experience.

I’m happy to have experienced immersion on occasion and wish I could do it more frequently. I have painted and did not realize 4 hours had gone by. I used to create the month’s schedule for my work peers and again, 3-4 hours would go by. The interesting thing was I wasn’t fatigued.
I am so hard on myself most of the time, feeling self conscious about how I have said something that might be misinterpreted, or hurtful or feeling like I have let someone down.
It’s hard to give myself a break being human. I heard a quote recently that ” Being human means being holy”
Well that’s something to think about.
So unfortunately I can immerse myself in my feeling of wrongness. Was I prideful today, have I let someone down, did I do something to hurt someone unknowingly, on and on.
Yet, though at times that feeling seems to be my truth. I express my gratitude every day for all the little but big things;
So, maybe I need a creative outlet again to “immerse” myself healthily. It can be so healing, like a balm for the soul.
Thank you for your thoughts. Love you, Linda
