Next

Live your life in the present, don’t wait. So many times I wait for the next time, next day, next weekend, next year. You will miss out, you will filter energy to the future, but what about now? What can you do right now? Essentially if your energy is in today, you can save the worry of another day. You can avoid regret, yes we all make plans for the future, that is important, just don’t allow valuable real estate in your head to be taken up with all of it.

Of course plan a vacation, day trip, gathering, just one and done. You said it, you are gonna do it and forget about it for now. The details are arranged later anyways. What if’s do nothing for you right now. I actually read that type of thing is a trauma response. It explained that the hardest part of dealing with trauma is letting yourself believe that you are able to expect good things to happen. That makes sense to me, when you lose a pet, loved one, you do put up walls that will prevent you from those situations again. Think of things that make you passionate, you feel that way because you relate to them.

Every day is a new day, clear the slate, erase all the factors. Be in this moment. This is the moment that counts. What are you doing today? Maybe you have to wait until after work or the kids are in bed, that’s valid, but do something. Don’t become stuck because of it. There are lots of why nots and there always will be. Just don’t waste your life waiting for another time.
