Being here now in the present moment is all we really have. The past is gone and there is nothing we can do to change it. We can only hope we learn from it. And the future is unknown. We may have an idea on what we want in the future but the future is not promised. Only hoped for. So that leaves the now. The present and being here now. Just being aware of what is going on with and around you now and choosing how to respond to it rather than react to it. However, being here now takes practice. It take developing self awareness of one’s thoughts and feelings and then practicing making different decisions about how we move or not move forward. To be aware of what is happening for us in the moment. To be aware of the here and now rather than the what was and what could be. Now that is not to say that reflecting on the past or daydreaming about the future is a bad thing because it is not a bad thing. However, dwelling in the past or the future is a bad thing because that means you are missing the here and now and the is where our power is. That is where our choices are and that is where the fun is. So do something different today and just be here now. And see what happens. You just might be surprised at the outcome.
Namaste, my friends.
Are you looking for a new and different way to develop your self awareness so you can be here now more often? Have you considered working with horses to help you? Horses are prey animals who live in the present moment. They live their lives in the now and they have the amazing ability to reflect us and “show us our blind spots” in our lives. The places where we are stuck in the past or the future. And horses do so in a non-judgmental way. They just want to connect with us in an authentic, safe way.
