Daydreaming much?
I do, and until today I never heard of it being mentioned in a positive way or context. My teacher colleagues seem to consider it an undesired distraction in students that interferes with their focus on the task.
Today, though, I got some insightful and encouraging new perspectives on it. Until now, it has not occurred to me to look at daydreaming as productive, solution finding, invention territory, or having evolutionary survival value.
As one who - I suspect - have always been daydreaming to an extent, I did have shame and guilt about it. Starting today, those unhelpful feelings are about to be ousted. It may be a process, not an event, but I plan to practice the empowering thought that daydreaming is a strength, not a weakness.
I can even frame daydreaming as another superpower associated with ADHD (ADD subtype). How relieving!
