Join me as I discuss how to be in "The Present Moment". What does this mean and how can we get there? I often get asked what does it mean to be more present and mindful. In this episode I answer that question and give some insight.
Highlighted moments
I have a gratitude art journal. I've been keeping it for a very long time, 12 years, I think now.
“being in the present moment, um, takes you away from your head, um, from your thinking, you are no longer thinking about what's going to happen in the future. You're no longer thinking about what's going to happen. You know, what's happened in the past.”
“close your eyes and say to yourself, I wonder what my next thought is going to be. Um, and then become very alert and wait for the next thought, uh, be like a cat watching a mouse hole.”
“I just love when people lose themselves in the creativity and they're just in it. There's no thinking. There's no, you know, there's no, you're not, you're not planning anything. You're not thinking about the past. You're not thinking about the future. You are just in it and you're enjoying it.”
