I meant to write about this earlier but I totally forgot about it
Classic ADHD moment lol

Anyway, I was downstairs, making food, I had my phone playing music through my headphones and didn't have my phone with me because it was charging. My phone was upstairs, in my room, and the signal still held, which I'm pretty happy to discover

But even more than that, I wasn't led to try and look at my phone while I was making my food. I was just... there. And it felt good, because of course it did, I try and recognize opportunities to be within the present moment, but this was different, it was entirely unintentional

I was quite surprised by how many times I felt my mind wander back, and when my hand would move to my pocket, I'd find the weight I got used to feeling wasn't there and my pocket was empty. It felt like I was being faced with my own dependence on it, and I can recognize that as a gift

It felt good, knowing I had to wait until I got back upstairs to look at something. I'm going to try and do this from now on, but I'm not sure I'll remember to, and if I do, whether I'll have the will to leave it behind. I hope I will
