Are you breathing? Are you taking in all of this? From mindfulness to financial to socio-economic issues to family and personal life, it can all feel overwhelming! So, how are you showing up? Are you processing things in a healthy way? Are you being “of service”?
It takes a lot of energy to show up powerfully, day after day. So, I want to reiterate the adage, “This, too, shall pass.” It can help you remember how special every moment is. Take it hour by hour, minute by minute… and imagine yourself a few weeks and months from. now. What do you wish you had done during that time?
The Present is a Present
My mentor and beloved friend RB Hackenberg lives by this mantra: “Try to RELAX in the present. Try not to REHASH the past, or REHEARSE the future.”
Would it make a difference if you were being fully present TO life & being fully present IN life? I try very hard to be both. As it goes on, it becomes more and more clear to me that it’s all temporary. Time, money, and life itself are fleeting.
And, since life is performance art, the time to be present is now!
Some Encouragement
Would you like some encouragement? In this short talk at TEDxYouth@ElectricAvenue, I share what I think are some of the “Tricks to Winning the Game of Life.” It’s heartfelt, and I’m proud of it. I hope it makes a difference for you. (Can you dig my Movember stache? 😁)
