Living Now

Between the healing of the past and the planning and creating of the future...there is the now. With all it entails.

It is so, so easy to get stuck in the healing; finding out what's "wrong", what's "blocked", what needs to change. The self awareness and detachment from one's story is essential, it's what let’s us make new choices which then creates new realities. But if it's driven by the constant focus of finding what's wrong, we're often only perpetuating the underlying belief of "I'm not good enough". Trapped in a loop, quite opposite from the intent of healing.

Then there's the planning of and creating the future, which is such a great thing. Exciting, motivating, driving us forward. Though, without balance it can also easily make us live in the ideas of potentials more than the present moment.

Heal the past - yes, change patterns - yes, consciuosly create your future - yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

But, LIVE now. Value this day, this exact moment. It is so easy to wait to fully live our lives. Wait till we're healed enough, or wait till we're in the creation we want for the future. What if this now is all you had? What would you do?

I have been stuck in both perspectives so many times in my life. And I have learnt that living NOW to the fullest, with all it holds, is so, so important.

Yet I forget sometimes.

Underlying all of my goals and wants, there is a core intention: I want to always have the courage to fully live my life. I want to celebrate often and I want to be really good at just being happy. In gratitude for the people I love and the life I live.

Life is precious.

This is my reminder to myself, and maybe it can be a good reminder for you too.

Happy living this exact, precious moment!
