How can I improve my presence of mind and come out of imagination?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 28-year-old, male suffering from a mental problem of living in a false world and lack of concentration since childhood. I am not able to recollect my imagination in a proper sequence. But mostly, they revolve around me imagining a young, dynamic politician of this country who is sometimes a male and a female but very intelligent and attractive. I always imagine myself giving press conferences and talking about various issues like improving the roadways. I have been preparing to crack government services and could not do well in previous attempts because of these imaginations. As soon as I read about policies like rural electricity, and health, I start imagining myself as a politician correcting those loopholes and making the public very happy. How do I improve my presence of mind? I do not respond promptly and smartly to people. I am not able to answer spontaneously. I am born with these imaginations but I want to get rid of them for proper deep study which I do not do. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Imagination helps us to make a target or vision in our minds. It motivates us and directs us to achieve that. At times too much imagination becomes a type of coping mechanism or an escape phenomenon because you like yourself in your imagination. You are trying to avoid the reality and your current status. Hence you keep imagining things. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions:

Make a proper schedule in a day.
Have an adequate sleep.
Try group study.
Try an aversion technique on yourself by tying a rubber band on your wrist. Pull it when you get engaged in imagination.
Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medication if needed.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
