I’m trying to stay in the moment, today. I’m trying not to think about the THINGS I NEED TO DO, nor about the THINGS I SHOULD HAVE DONE. I’m trying not to think about the THINGS I HAVE SCREWED UP or about the THINGS I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO SCREW UP. I’m trying not to think about ALL OF THE TERRIBLE FOODS I ATE and I’m trying not to think about EATING HEALTHY AND RIGHT FOREVER. I’m trying not to think about all of the things behind me, or all of the things in front of me.
Today I’m going to try to stay in the moment. Think about THIS moment and what should I be doing. What needs to be done RIGHT NOW. What does my job need from me RIGHT NOW. What does my family need from my RIGHT NOW. What does my body need from me RIGHT NOW. What does my soul need from me RIGHT NOW.
I’ve been overwhelmed by the failures of the past and worried about the failures of the future and it’s all weighing me down so much in the moment that all of the moments are becoming a blur of anxiety and stress.
Today? I’m going to try to reprogram that part of my brain and focus on the PRESENT. The moment I’m in right now, eating my strawberries and oatmeal (needs more strawberries) and challenging myself to move one step at a time and to only think about the step I’m taking and not the tumbles behind me or the cliffs in front of me.
Wow, i need this reminder right now. Thank you.
