“A Wandering Mind”. Great title for a book (which may well be out there). I like to think of wandering as a positive thing though, not just a negative thing - but then it becomes so close to “meditating”, “flowing” etc. For now I like to think that there is a thin line.
Thank you for the comment, indeed everything has two sides like we talked earlier. When meditating we’re not “quieting the mind” or “stopping to think”. What the researchers were referring to is a wandering mind during an activity you were meant to be present for instead.
The idea is to develop the ability to be in the most fitting state for your situation. Which in the context of your comment is to let your mind be free to wander, which actually is a form of meditation called “open awareness” 😉

Happy to chat more about that.
