Looking elsewhere while contemplating

I noticed in my contempaltions that there is an almost constant pull towards trying to go "elsewhere" in my mind while contemplating. It goes something like - well, the truth of whatever I'm contemplating is not currently in my experience, therefore I should be looking somewhere else.

Knowing that the target of my contemplation is already right here, already in my experience (or not even assuming that) is a much more powerful way to go about it.
