Living in the NOW

I had the tendency of holding myself back from moving forward in whatever I was involved in. I realized that I was not allowing myself to fully appreciate that moment. I would be consummed with thoughts of what could happen etc. Then I heard about living in the now. It is a really simple concept and I am in awe that it took my 28 years to learn about this. It all boils down to being in tune with what feels good or right at the moment and how to maintain this happiness. Worrying about the future is simply a waste of time and energy, especially if it holds you back in acheiving and finding happiness and contentment. Of course preparing for later is normal( as I often love using my planner and getting things ready ahead of time and should do more of this for meal planning). But, if preparing is actually something you do that puts enjoyment and happiness in a stand still- then its kinda a waste of time.

My boys share a room. They sometimes normally sleep in their room at night. But for the past three weeks our boys slept in our room. Their mattresses where next to our bed and they loved it. I focused my energy and positive thoughts on the enjoyment of having our boys close to us. We all slept great for those weeks having them close by. Then the day came where we all agreed it was time for us all to go back to our rooms. With my husband waking in the morning for work and our dog kicking off our youngest from his bed made us all long for our normalcy in our home.( our dog sleeps in our room and thought she hit the lottery with thinking that her bed grew, ha!) If I hadn't been in tune with enjoying the moment and living in the now I would have been at my witz end with thoughts that would lonly hold me back from fully appreciating and devouring the love our boys have for us.
