that's why i don't eat lunch anymore i eat a breakfast which includes protein and then i eat a big dinner during the day i eat some fruits here and there, maybe some dark chocolate, nuts and olives as snack. not me, if i eat a bowl of vegan pasta etc. for lunch i still feel tired afterwards

Hi there Through some books, videos, meditation etc. i can be conscious of (my) consciousness or aware of my awareness. Kind of put the focus on my awareness or that "space" I've been in and out of spirituality but have been practicing this for the last two weeks as much as i can in daily life. And it's a nice kind of subtle "feeling". It's also enjoyable because i get lost in thought/feelings etc. pretty easily and if i put the focus on consciousness much less thoughts etc. pop up My question is, during activities like jogging, meeting people etc. should one also try to stay conscious of consciousness as much as he/she can. Or if i'm jogging in the forest should i move my focus mostly to nature and the surroundings etc. and if i'm meeting somebody put the focus mostly on them etc.? (obviously if i'm jogging in the forest for example there is quite some focus on the surroundings too, even if i try to stay conscious, or else i'd just trip and fall etc.) Also we're all not on exactly the same path, we all have our own practices etc. but since i never had a teacher and learned mostly through books and internet etc. i wonder if i'm on the right path with this. So i'm just looking for some insights.

Alright thank you for your answer. I'm trying to do it quite often right now because i'd like to make it a habit and form some neural pathways to make it easier. this is from google "Time to create a new habit Research from the University College of London (alma mater shout-out!) has shown that the average time for an action to become automatic is 66 days. Of course there's a wide range (from 18 to 254 days) and where that number falls depends on a few factors." https://jenriggs.com/change/how-long-will-change-take/ How often/how long more or less do you put most of the focus on awareness during daily life?

"existential crisis" sounds a bit negative in my opinion. Something like 8 years ago i've watched some Eckhart Tolle videos which made me see reality a bit different. Not really sure exactly which video it was.
