Psychology of Everyday Life: How do you manage or cure maladaptive daydreaming (MDD)?
Can you elaborate on the mindfulness and goal-setting techniques? How can they help with managing MDD?
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without judgement. It can be helpful for individuals with MDD because it allows them to become more aware of their daydreaming and take steps to bring their attention back to the present. Goal-setting involves breaking up larger goals into smaller, achievable ones. By setting goals that are realistic and achievable, individuals with MDD can gain a sense of accomplishment that can help lessen the need for excessive daydreaming. Would you like me to provide more information on how to practice mindfulness or goal-setting techniques?
