Dear Ale:
You are welcome. As to “I lived normally and naturally in the moment but when I’m stressed I come back to my head”- I think this happens to everyone. No human lives in the moment all the times. It is probably possible for animals because they don’t have our language and all the thoughts made possible using language. But humans, oh, we do go back to thinking a whole lot.
When stressed, the brain is motivated to think so to resolve the stress, to find a solution to the stress. Problem is we don’t think well when stressed too much, so better calm down first. So go back again and again to calm, to focusing on your breath, to listening to sounds around you, to disengage from that “loop of hell” you were referring to, that is the loop of overthinking and the distress is causes.
