Live In The Moment - Tumblr Posts
“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows or three thousand or ten. So much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”
Movie - Before I Fall (2017)
Unexpected blessings when you’re genuinely grateful for all that you already have
“The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”
—H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
When we are grateful in the present moment, we will always be grateful in future present moments since now is all there is.
my fatal flaw is that i can never just enjoy the present. i’m always either reminiscing about the past or yearning for the future.
all of winter i’ve waited for summer and now that it’s here i can’t wait for fall.
someone teach me how to live in the moment pls
"Even when things seem difficult, we keep going, hoping that the best is yet to come… because the best way to keep going is to believe!"
"There is happiness and beauty in each new day if we look closely. Live with an open heart and an optimistic mind, with everything we do, do it with love."
"Her şey zor görünse bile, en iyisinin henüz gelmediğini umarak devam ediyoruz... çünkü yola devam etmenin en güzel yolu inanmaktır!"
We try so hard...
We try so hard to put the past behind us so rightly where it belongs, however we have a subconscious mind that can start playing tricks and mess with our heart.
I think this can be more so when we start to try and label what we have, labels like:
Boyfriend
Girlfriend
Partner
Couple
Relationship
Together
Using these labels can subconsciously can bring up past bad memories from previous relationships. Where if we just stopped labelling everything and just be in the moment...
This is where mindfulness can actually help us, as mindfulness practises encourages us to stop labelling things and just experience the whole experience through the feelings of the moment.
As part of a mindfulness walk that I lead we encourage you not to label the things that you hear and see, just enjoy the moment and immerse yourself in the full experience of sight, sounds and smells...
This is what we should be doing with everything including our relationships and free ourselves from the past, our subconscious minds and just enjoy being in the moment... because if we keep letting our subconscious minds rule, we will continually retreat away from the things and the people that make us so happy...

You can't go back and change the beginning,
but you can start where you are and change the ending...
stop labelling...

A little thought for today and actually every day...
"It's the way you look at life, the old I'm a half full glass or half empty glass… I'm a half full glass. Just remember this… you woke up this morning you are alive… there is always beauty in each day… if you were dead, you would have nothing to be grateful for… remember that…"

When you realize that happiness is moments, you will begin to appreciate each one of them.

Every morning, you have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them.

And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves.
~ Virginia Woolf
"if you don't believe in a literal eternal hell, what's the point of being a good person? you'll go to heaven either way, right?"
uhhhh... the point is that we're all human beings suffering on this spinning rock in space together?
and Christ calls us to care for each other and reduce the suffering in the world where we can?
and we should WANT to reduce suffering anyway because we've suffered ourselves and want to help others avoid that suffering as much as possible?
because good human beings have these weird things in their bodies called compassion and empathy?
golly.
Stepping away from life is not a sign of weakness.
Care for yourself first.
Find what truly makes you happy.
And, when you find it, embrace it and cherish it.
