Are you present? Many times we miss the beauty of the moment because our bodies may be there but our minds are someplace else. Being fully present is something I am working on, it's a gift each of us should consider giving ourselves. Think about the amount of time we've given to the past, which is unchangeable. Or to the future which isn't promised. While we overlook the very moment we're in. It seems as if our lives have become so out of balance that it's often difficult to enjoy a conversation with one another. I have been guilty of talking with a friend while saying, "I'm listening to you" as I replied to a text message or respond to an email. Truth be told, I wasn't being present and my attention was divided. I have come to realize that while I prided myself on the ability to multi task I wasn't giving my full awareness to anything I was doing. As I contiune to embrace my desire to live a fulfilling life this is a habit I am working to break. Life has taught me to slow down, focus on the now. It's beneficial to my health both mentally and physically. Have you ever found yourself thinking about work while on vacation? Then you might as well work because the thought of work robbed you of the vacation day. Which was something I once did. It's work retraining my mind to be fully conscious of the present. To sit still and enjoy the here and now. My mind has been accustomed to being in several places at once for such a long time. This change has been neccessary and it's so freeing as well. Let me inspire you to give yourself permission to be fully present where you are. Thank you for reading today's post and please feel free to share with someone. And never forget, we are unstuck, and we are free!
