“Stress is being one place and wanting to be another.” Eckhart Tolle
It was one of those days.
A friend has cancer. My cat needed to be put down, and I lost my happy.
How do you find the sunshine in the rain?
You live in the moment.
When you are in the moment, not caught up in your thinking, you are okay.
You are totally present – listening to a friend, paying attention to your work, calm.
If you are stressed you are fighting the present moment.
That struggle is painful.
When you are stressed your thoughts are not here, right now.
You are creating fear, worry, struggle. You are focused on what you do not want.
You are anxious about the future or upset about the past.
To be in the moment, calm and peaceful, take these steps:
- STOP and be totally present in what you are doing, where you are.
- Look at your hands, the words on the page, or something nearby.
- Breathe – close your eyes, breathe in and out slowly, until you feel better.
- Accept this moment as it is, do not resist it.
- Say to yourself, “I can accept this; it is what it is, right now.”
Then ask yourself, “What problem do I have right now?” (Not 10 minutes from now).
You will find you do not have a problem – unless you are in physical pain.
Accepting what is, right now, knowing you can take positive action will bring you peace.
Live right now, not in your mind – fearful of the future.
Do what you can do in this moment, fully focused. This includes planning for the future.
And, smile, knowing that this moment is okay - when you keep to the facts.
“I am doing my work and I am okay.”
Shift from stressed to calm success.
Be here now. Stay in the present moment.
