Are you present with yourself?
Are you present with those around you?
Are you present with God?
Slow down.
Center yourself.
And, ask the all-important question, What’s here now?
“What keeps us from experiencing peace is either living in the past or living for the future.”
When we obsess over what’s already happened or put all of our efforts into creating a picture-perfect tomorrow, we miss what God has for us here and now. The result is regret over what we can’t change and anxiety over what we feel we must change.
- Ways to embrace the present moment for all that it is
- How to balance the tension between consenting to what is while also holding out hope for what could be
- The telltale signs of not being fully present and what you can do about it
“I want to smell the basil and taste the tomato from the garden and feel the salt air on my face and the wind through my hair, and just really, truly be alive to the moment. “
I can’t wait for you to take a listen! We grow strong roots when we live in the present moment. Our eyes open to the gifts available to us each new day, and our hearts become filled with gratitude for all we have, leaving no room for worry about the future or regret about the past. Slow growth doesn’t mean you’re behind – it means you’re on a solid foundation.
