While playing chess –
In the middle of the game, stop and tell yourself
It is a just game I am playing
While watching a movie –
In the middle of the movie, stop and tell yourself
It is a just movie I am watching
While at work –
In the middle of it all, step back and tell yourself
It is just work that I signed up to do
We entered the theatre to play.
But somewhere down the line, it got so immersive,
that we forgot we were playing.
While living life…
