Almost as though we would rather live in our heads than in the real world, isn't it? I do the same thing. I just have to constantly, over and over, a hundred, a thousand times a day, bring my mind back to the present. Sometimes it helps to think "Doing the dishes" or "Driving now." Or whatever it is. You get the idea.
