although mostly described on the internet as something taking massive, complex proportions, this is pretty much every moment when you choose to not focus on your actual life, and instead pick to escape to some other version of events.
also known as counterproductive daydreaming.
can you make a choice (most often a series of choices) that can change your circumstances in some way? if the answer is "definitely no, i am stuck here, for real, with no escape whatsoever, seriously", then think about working with yourself to improve some other aspect of your life instead. it will not be in vain.
an action plan that you actually plan on taking action on, but you think about a lot, will not fall under this category...unless you are a coward, and keep delaying taking action. that's maladaptive.
some consider this type of daydreaming/fantasising as manifestation, or, worse, as meditation. that is why they are, most likely, behind on their goals...or they just have unethical goals and the universe said: "denied!".

Doug's brain: it's summer. it's too hot. i'm uncomfortable. i am seeing myself engulfed in snow..making snow angels..skiing..making more snow angels (loop on last image)
some God: i'm thinking hard right now where to place this. might be maladaptive daydreaming, it's a bit of a gray area. the snow angels are a nice touch though, thanks!

mathematical algorithm that that creature that you hate, the annoying fly, uses as a flying pattern. unbelievable!
seems like a useful evasive manoeuvre.

a popular, yet highly condemned, body aesthetic personal choice, which people use to show off, express their creativity, deal with traumatic events, or fix temporary whims and boredom.
basics: a needle goes into your skin repeatedly, to make a tear and get non-toxic (desired) ink inside. ideally, you do this tattoo thing once, then you move on to another patch of skin, unlike with botox (toxic) or other skin procedures (radio/high frequency, microneedling, peelings, etc.) that work on the basis of they destroy your skin and/or other cells and you need to use up some telomeres and eventually stem cells to heal yourself, procedures that you end up doing over and over in your life. yes, to look better, and yes, you heal, and yes, right now humans don't reach the maximum potential of their genetic lifespan anyway to feel a reduction, and miss those stem cells, so why not? better to focus on protecting your heart, and donating to research for cancer, and other bad things.
if done in truly sanitary conditions, tattoos are not that bad for the body, unless there's something off with the ink, or you choose to remove the tattoo, breaking the ink apart into small-small toxic particles that will then all get absorbed into the bloodstream. health hazard! good luck kidneys! and not only. so choose wisely. ideally you should not have it removed.
wouldn't it be nice instead to have this ink be nutrients for the body, so that you kinda get a vitamin boots when you wanna change things up?
