Happiness Has Nothing To Do With The Future
Leverage the present. Allow yourself to take stock of what you have. Right. Now. We have the tendency to outsource happiness into the future. What will happen, what might happen, what we will make happen. We pin our hope on the future. “It will get better.” “Time heals all wounds. “Tomorrow will be a better day.” Can you see today? Can you hold a moment where you are immersed in the next few minutes, breath deeply and take in the joy of life? Right. Now.
Here are a few questions to help anchor you in the moment.
What does my body feel like right now?
Where is there peace in my body?
Where is there discomfort in my body?
Can you sense you breathing?
Can you feel your heartbeat?
What in your environment right now gives you peace or pleasure
Where are your thoughts right now?
As you lose the moment where do your thoughts go?
What are you grateful for right now?
