LIVING THIS MOMENT

I am here and now.  Sometimes, I forget this and notice myself living out of experiences from the past.  I am bound by old beliefs, injunctions and feelings, allowing them to guide the events of today.  I neglect to remember that I have little current evidence to support these old ways of life now and am stuck in a loop of what used to be.  Sometimes, I realize I am trying to live in the future.  Imagining what will happen, filling my heart and mind with expectations, anxiety, and ‘what if’s’.  It is very distracting and difficult to be present to the moment that is now when I am caught up in what is yet to come.
Today, I choose to re-focus my awareness to the present here and now.  I may or may not like this moment, however, if I open my heart to it I will discover what it holds for me, after all I believe it is part of my journey for a reason.  I have demonstrated many times I have the resources that are required to deal with whatever I encounter.
Therefore, I will embrace this day and remember everything is temporary and will be history soon.  I release the temptation to push away or grasp and hold on to this moment.  I will stay present to myself and others today.
