We hear it all the time – live in the present moment. It’s harder than it sounds, right?
It’s easy to get attached to how we want things to be, especially when our hearts get involved. We experience a moment of exhilaration or joy, we get a taste of what we want most, so we want “it.” Here’s the thing: wanting “it” leads to having expectations and expectations, lead to disappointment.
It’s a vicious cycle, a mental trap that robs us from living in the present. I think it stems from a belief many of us formed in childhood, the belief that “I can’t or won’t get what I want.” Can you relate?
It’s time to call bullshit on this belief. Yep, bullshit. It’s important to understand where it came from and then let it go. It’s up to us to come up with a new empowering belief like:
I always get what I want
I trust myself and my choices
I am open to how things unfold
Allow yourself to embrace the moment, without analyzing the past or tripping on the future. Being present creates an experience. An experience creates the next one. And then the next. A set of experiences creates your life.
