‘Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, and today is a gift. That’s why it is called the PRESENT’ ~Bill Keane
You know the pattern right, either worrying about the future or replaying the past over and over like a broken record? We spend so much time beating ourselves up about our past actions or projecting into the future that we very rarely notice what is going on right now. And now. And now.
Taking a few moments to get truly present can have an profound effect of how we think, feel and act. Getting present slows us down, gives space to acknowledge what is really going on in this moment and relaxes us. Instead of worrying about that meeting, difficult conversation or what that person did to you 5 years ago just notice if there is anything in this present moment that you can’t deal with. Not bills that need paying or relationships that need fixing, right now in this very moment are you OK?
