It's good to feel that every moment of your life is precious. That every moment should be lived in the best of possible ways. But isn't it just too much pressure ?!
You feel like you should be doing something every moment. Read a book or may be watch a movie or study some books or go play !! It's bugging when you are not able to enjoy the idle time just doing nothing and lazing around since you start to feel that you are just doing "nothing".
I try to remember what I used to do as a kid. I had exams to prepare for and loads of friends to hang out with and when I had nothing to do I would just sit and laze around. Stare at the ceiling lost in some crazy thought.
Today also I have some deadlines I have to meet and some social functions am supposed to attend. But life feels very incomplete. The need to be doing more and making life more enriching occupies my mind all the time. I guess I just need to let go of it. But not as easy as it sounds.
It's not like I am not doing anything about it. But as adults its just very difficult to satisfy this need and be contended :P
Well may be I should just let go of this whole concept and do what i gotta do!

The past and the future exist only in the mind. Get out of the mind, from compulsive thinking. Then only the present exists. "In the heart of the present is the eternity". We cannot experience this because the mind controls us, instead of we controlling the mind. Desires are the fibres, mind is the fabric. Get out of the mind; be indifferent to its demands. There is nothing to do. Just be.
well said! but again, your mind is not a different being. It's you! So getting out of the mind is just trying to get away from it,ignore it. And yet again fall into its trap. If only we can tune our mind then it ends the ongoing conflict within is.
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the Mind. Mind, ego and maya are all one and the same.
What you really are is sat-chit-ananda
