Stay in the here-and-now moment
Staying in the Now moment requires a highly attuned state of consciousness, where the connection flows more at the moment we are attuned and lets it go in accordance with the way the day unfolds.
The less we have control over how things should be, from the perspective of our mental and emotional bodies, the more entangled we can become. Like a string of pearls, the moments in time are leaps of love and faith.
It is also a challenge to stay in the here-and-now moments if you are dependent on a certain outcome. Trust that things will work out as they should. Living in the now means loosening up, in order to peak.
Don't look back, but also look ahead to the future to come. Only what I can sense and feel today, as well as what is challenging. I also create some fear because I have no control. All I can do is take the necessary steps.
Right now, it's all about planning my upcoming trip to the United States in a few weeks. I booked my ticket and received my reservation, including my request for assistance at the airport. Today I still have not received any confirmation other than that they received my request.
With all the unrest at the airport right now, everything is uncertain, chaotic, and certainly challenging. Not just for me, this is a challenging time for every traveler coming to or leaving our country. Global issues in every area of jobs are going unfilled, causing a lot of unrest and chaos.
Because there is not enough manpower to go through security, get your bags on the plane, and also long lines of passengers waiting to get to the gates where they need to be on time to board.
All these circumstances cause a lot of unrest. That makes it harder to trust that everything will turn out okay. All I can do now is breathe deeply and calm my nervous system
Every time I organize a trip, a vacation creates some excitement before I leave. Making a list helps to see what I need to take with me. Although this is not the first time I have visited my son, it does not make it any easier that I am on my own.
Becoming a widow, 6 years ago, is still very much present. Daily. Every time I have to pack my bags, it always comes with the feeling of missing my loved one. How much he would have enjoyed these trips to the United States to be with his son and family.
It still doesn't get any easier. What also feels strong is his presence around me, with every step I take along the way. Knowing that he is always looking out for me gives me the strength and courage to move on.
To stay in these now moments, when he is so close to my heart, is also like a beacon.
Shining bright, warning me not to get so tense. To be more relaxed in this period of my life. To let things unfold as they should be. So with this in mind, but most importantly in my heart, it helps me to take it one day at a time.
With that in mind, I am aware of this fear, its source, and how to deal with it. There have been countless moments over the years when I have had to take a deep breath.
Practicing this mindfulness is always and always has been my tool for dealing with uncertainty. It also helps me let go of the need for control, which I can't control. To keep my mind and focus on the best result. Ask for help if necessary. To accept what I cannot change.
All I can do is take care of my daily life, address what I can change, and have control over it. This is the only way I can influence the outcome of how I feel.
How you can change this fear at rest, for example by doing breathing exercises. Today it is important to me, how I can be more at ease. What I need is to do what I love to do.
Tomorrow there's another day. All we can do is take today as it comes, and change what we can when something speaks to itself. Maintain focus and restore inner balance when necessary.
Being in the Now moment is all about consciousness, awareness, and focus. Knowing what causes this feeling of fear, or what I need to regain balance. I had a life full of exercises to deal with challenges. Learning through experiences. Now I have to put this into practice.
And so it will be
