Live In The Present - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.”
—Henry David Thoreau
When you are genuinely grateful for all that you have in the present moment, you will see everything as extra, you will attract abundance (especially if you’re always giving too because law of cause and effect)
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…"

Tips for anxiety/worrying about the future?
Focus only on the present moment, on things you can only control. The practice of being in the present will heal you. Becoming obsessive with the future only creates anxiety, and worry. Work on doing the best you can now, as that’ll be the results of future success. You must train your mind to not worry so much of the unknown, because what’s important is the you right now, not the you in the future. Because without the present, there’s no future. I know it’s much easier said than done, but with time, practice and patience, it’ll get easier. I used to be constantly worried about everything in the past, present and future. But with time, I’ve taught myself that being so worried and stressed about the future, only held me back from doing my absolute best now, and that I couldn’t be my best self without changing. So I did my best to train my mind to not worry on what I couldn’t control. Though not every day is perfect, and some days I do wonder of what my future holds, but it’s not enough to consume me. It’s okay to have off days, here and there. Do things that’ll help you stay grounded, and present such as practising daily gratitude, daily guided meditation, surrounding yourself in environments that makes you feel at peace and calm, doing things that’ll help keep you busy and distracted such as new hobbies, learning a new skill, working, studying, etc. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself, let your life flow at it’s own pace. What is meant for you will come to you at the moment it needs to. Wishing you all the best! 💗
I'm sick to death of nostalgia.
Be present in the moment.
