Thread: Can't manage to be aware...

Being off of auto-pilot while doing nothing/being alone is good but not nearly enough. It's most important to maintain self-awareness while engaged in something like a conversation or doing any sort of task that requires some mental effort, because you'll almost never find yourself in a dream with nothing to do, if you know what I mean.
So I'm not really sure what we're supposed to do.. Maybe get busy on purpose with the intention of maintaining self-awareness? Like short session of an activity that requires your attention, try to do them without switching to auto-pilot.
Sorry I can't be more useful, I've been struggling with the same problem for weeks.

That's exactly what i think too, but i guess it can't be helped.
We must try and try to reach that level.
Although i'm entering in panic, i will try harder.
