In one way, that sounds like more consciously present, in the other way it sounds like less. You are more here and now as you lack distracting commentary, or are you more here if you sit and ponder it?

The fact it's possible to not ponder shows consciousness doesn't depend on pondering.

I can't see how distracting yourself with something else (thoughts) could make you more conscious.
