Your Type
When bored, you let your thoughts drift everywhere, reflecting on the past, imagining the future, or indulging in daydreams. This tendency of "turning attention entirely to the inner world" actually reflects your underlying evasion of "the uncontrollability and setbacks of real life"; you fear that the demands of the real world are too harsh or complex, so you use "hiding in the brain's safe haven" to gain a sense of security and omnipotence, where everything is perfect in fantasy. But overindulging in thoughts makes you lose connection with the present. Try intentionally bringing your attention back to your body next time your thoughts start wandering endlessly, and carefully feel the sensation of your feet on the floor; when you learn to root yourself in reality, your inspiration can truly take root and grow.
