You don’t see reality.
You see your emotional state, projected onto everything.
Had a decent day?
Stuck to your diet?

Most people don’t live in the present moment.
Not because they can’t.
Because they keep expecting it to feel like something.
But here’s the truth:
The present moment doesn’t feel like anything.
No dopamine. No drama.
It’s just now. Still. Empty. Uncomfortable.

You tell yourself: “This year, I’ll finally meditate for 20 minutes a day.”
Your brain? Laughs.
Your nervous system? Shuts down.
And by February, you're back in chaos.
