Focus on the Present

Feeling restless
There are times like that, too.

At times like that,
try to cut off those restless feelings and thoughts
with a sudden snap!

Try looking at what is right in front of you!

What do you see right in front of you right now?

A clock?
A glass?
A computer?

Where are you right now?

Are you sitting on the sofa?
Are you working at a table?
Are you standing on a train?

What are you doing?
What will you do?

Your position

Holding your head in your hands over worries
Endless anxiety
Lost in thought

When you are turning thoughts and ideas over in your mind, you are swimming in a world of fantasy.
You are dwelling on thoughts, immersing yourself in them,

and jumping off into some other space (your own world).

We move back and forth between these thoughts (our own world) and reality.
We move back and forth.

What is the date and day of the week today?
Look carefully at the calendar and check the date.

What time is it right now?
Look carefully at the clock and check the time.

In that moment,
your attention turns to what is right in front of you now.

It becomes realistic!

The counseling room is
intentionally kept plain.

To avoid unnecessary stimulation,
a structured environment is created.

When a client shares their thoughts, the counselor
creates a space where that person can freely speak about their world,
and naturally adjusts the movement between that world and reality in a balanced way.

Counseling is not just a consultation,
but is conducted through a structured environment and techniques.

Bringing back to reality

If you can maintain this sense,
I think you will also be able to experience the sense of switching.

Do you find it easier to feel the boundary between your thoughts (your own world) and reality?

When you are lost in thought or reflection,
when you are immersed in something,
it becomes difficult to focus on reality.

If you don't turn back at the right time,
you won't even notice it yourself.
It will become difficult to return on your own.

You get too immersed and can't move on to the next thing.
You end up ruminating.
Your thoughts immediately drift back to your own world.

For example,you end up spending time detached from reality.

Now✨

When you are talking freely and comfortably,
you lose sight of your surroundings.
You realize you were the only one talking and suddenly come to your senses.

The feeling of being absorbed in a book,
and then suddenly returning to reality is the same.

The feeling of letting go of something that was bothering you,
and the sudden 'snap!' sensation
when you shift your mood is also the same.

When you are thinking about this and that, and a single word
makes time stop for a moment and you suddenly become calm, that is also it.

Right here, right now!

The sensation of feeling your own existence

The sensation of coming to your senses

That sensation is likely the moment of feeling reality.

We know the moments when we suddenly return to the present.

We are constantly moving between our thoughts and reality.
