Hey friends, we all are our heroes in our world. We imagine winning at every moment of our life, but when reality hits, we fail and then see ourselves as a failure. So instead of living in an imaginary world, we must live in reality and focus on improving ourselves.

Why We Live In Imaginary World
  1. Control Is In Our Hands: People live in their imaginary world because they can manipulate all the situations according to their wants; they can be champions in tackling all their life problems in one go. But, in the real world, we cannot control the outside situations or tackle all our problems without any hard work. Hence, some people start imagining their world and get lost there for hours without talking to anyone.
  2. Too Much Overthinking: Some people overthink too much about the work instead of doing it. They overthink all the pros and cons of something that they want to do and waste all their time in it instead of executing it. Thinking about all the aspects of a new task is good, but you must not get wholly involved in it that you don’t have time to execute it.
  3. Laziness: Laziness is one of the biggest reasons some people live in an imaginary world. They don’t want to do their work, and hence they overthink it instead of doing it.
  4. Too Many Failures: Whenever someone fails in every corner of his life, he starts living in his world. It is one of the most common reasons people live in their imaginary world and do not want to live in reality.

  1. Divert Your Mind: It is the most basic and technique that you must follow. This step needs practice. It would be best if you reminded yourself to stop dreaming and live in the real world. Whenever you feel like you are having unwanted thoughts coming into your brain, remind yourself to stop dreaming and focus on something real.
