Then I had an ” Aha Moment” as Oprah Winfrey would say. Those recent experiences made me realize that I made the situation more frustrating and negative than it needed to be because I was thinking too much about the past and the future. Therefore, that blocked the real enjoyment of those special moments that could have been positive. I took out my frustration and anxiety out on the people I cared about the most. Most importantly, they didn’t deserve to have my insecurities bestowed on them.
What’s surprising is that I didn’t have any reason to feel or be insecure about the relationships or any other situation. My life was actually good at the time. The only reason the romantic interests didn’t work out is because I was in my own head too much and was too worried and nervous about the future, and that made me forget to be in the Present Moment, and not worry about what happened in the past or what’s going to happen in the future.
By not being in the Present Moment it gave me negative energy where it was not even necessary. I learned my lesson the hard way. By not living in or being the Present Moment, we all can miss what’s right there in front of us. It’s so easy to take life,our passions,dreams and relationships with others as well as ourselves for granted.
With daily practice about 5 to 10 minutes a day, Meditation and Mindfulness will give you strength to ” just be” in the Present Moment, be in the “Now” and handle any tough situation that crosses your path and become more resilient in your life and as a person. You’ll be a Warrior and your own Hero.
