Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had a very busy weekend but it was full of family and a lot of great moments–so it was perfect!
Speaking of moments, today’s Mindset Monday is all about living in the present. I just love this quote by A.A Milne, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present.” It’s easy to dwell on the past…what if you would have done this instead of that, how would it have changed your life today. But the reality is that it’s the past. It cannot be changed so it’s really not even worth the energy to think or worry about. And likewise, why worry about tomorrow when in so many ways, it’s out of our control too. But what we do have control over is this exact moment. Today. The present.
A lot of people (authors, celebrities, etc) talk about the importance of being fully present…at home, at work, for your kids, for your spouse. This sounds easy, but it is really hard. There are distractions everywhere, both external and internal. Sometimes our own thoughts and worries can be the biggest distractions of all.
This week, I am going to really focus on living in the present. I’m not going to stress about the past or worry about the future. It’s all about today.
What plans do you have for today?
