Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ You’ll Feel Better if You Get in Touch with Your Body & Feelings

Stop Living Only in the Past and the Future, Get Present in the Moment

Being present in the moment involves being in your body and feeling your feelings—two things that lots of folks actually don’t know how to do.

Ask yourself these two questions: What does fear feel like in your body? What are you afraid of?

If you don’t know the answer to these questions, you probably aren’t present in the moment. Being present involves vulnerability, humility, and openness.

Being in the past or the future involves living in your head and ignoring what’s going on in your body and emotions.

The past and the future stop being so relevant and intriguing when you’re able to get in your body and feel your feelings. When you can do these two things, you actually want to be in the present moment. Try these tips: How to Live in the Moment and Stop Worrying.

Positive Thought of the Day ~ Eyes Focused Ahead

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.” ~ Tom Clancy

We can’t change the past. Accept what happened give it all you got to make today and tomorrow better. Looking backwards is a waste of emotional and mental energy. Our future lies ahead of us. Look forward, look ahead, and look up.

There are only memories behind us. Some good and some painful. The future is not behind us. It is in front of us. Whatever the past, let it go and turn toward tomorrow. Walk in the sunlight without fear. You can handle everything that comes your way.

Today’s Inspiration ~ The Way to Use Time

“The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it.”

~ Thomas S. Monson

Today’s Positive Thought ~ You Are Not Your Past

“I can’t go back to yesterday – because I was a different person then (Lewis Carroll).” Yesterday is an illusion, its only connection to reality are our memories and how we choose to interpret memories (e.g. photos, digital material). Where it’s happening is now. When we let our memories decide who we are or how we should act, we become prisoners to the past. We’re different now than we were then. We’ve paid our dues. We are free from our past. We have experiences that taught us important lessons. Let the past go and live today. Good things are coming your way. The only way you can see them is if you are looking ahead.

Today’s Inspiration ~ Drop the Regrets

“He who spends time regretting the past loses the present and risks the future.”

~ Francisco de Quevedo

Something to Think About

One cannot rip the past out of his/her life. it’s stuff that happened to us and it’s stored at a cellular level in our memory. The best we can do is to make peace with the past. It’s not always easy to make peace with the past because lots of the characters in our personal drama are no longer in our lives (they’re either dead or no longer live near us). If we can find ways to forgive those who hurt us, we loosen the past’s grip on us. That’s easier said than done. Yet, it has to be done if one is to find peace and eventually happiness. 

Today’s Inspiration ~ You Have Life’s Mission

“We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.”

~ Robin Sharma

Power Thought ~ It’s the Present that Counts

Your past doesn’t matter. It’s the present that counts. You were born good, you were born to contribute meaningful to society in a special way that only you can contribute. It’s your destiny. Rise to the occasion.

Something to Think About

The past had its moment. It’s gone. Life is all about contributing to build a better future for ourselves, our families, and our communities. That sounds like an impossible task. It’s impossible until we break it down to it’s most essential pieces. It’s how we care about ourselves, families, neighbors, and colleagues. When we work collectively at our most fundamental level, our actions connect throughout the world to all others working at this fundamental level. We understand that great things can be accomplished when we work together, stop the insanity of war, and build a society that peacefully endures.
