Living in the Present

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

I want to learn to live my life in the here and now on a more regular basis. I spend so much time focusing on the future, anxious about what may or may not happen, that I miss out on the joy and peace of the present moment.

For example, it is Sunday night and my brain is already fully delved into Monday morning and what work is going to look like. All of the tasks I have to complete tomorrow. And the fact that the weekend is 5 days away. But I also have a wonderful family here at home with me, two dogs to whom I am their entire world. Focusing on tomorrow and Christmas and travel and all of the things that are stressing me out, is causing me to miss out on this moment that I could be enjoying.

BRB… going to go spend some time with my boys now!
