Depending upon the inner work we’ve done or not done, our mind can play terrible tricks on us.
Depending upon the inner work we’ve done or not done, our mind can play terrible tricks on us.
It can have us replaying old and outdated stories on even the happiest days.
It could have us bringing up sad memories of the past or projecting anxieties about the future.
And our mind doesn’t take a break. It will do this story recycling over and over again - even on our happiest of moments.
Today, on my son’s graduation, I was determined to not let fears of the future or painful times of the past steal my present day joy.
I did that by returning to the present moment where everything was peaceful. Beautiful. Happy.
And the moment was oh-so-worthy of celebration.
My mind and its crazy thoughts and related emotions didn’t get to hijack anything. NOTHING! Showing me - once again - that I had done the work, am doing the work, and I have the right tools. Friends, this is the work.
What tools are you using to be fully in your moments and stay connected to your joy? Tell me below! 👇🏽😊❤️
In presence and gratitude,
