When people say that they are now living their "new normal," it might just mean they are now living in the true present. Normal never really existed. It's just a glorification of an idealized past. The present is happening now, and there's no way to be able to accurately predict it without stepping out of … Continue reading New Normal

Enjoy
Enjoy it while it lasts, because that's the whole point of it. Emphasis needs to be on the "while it lasts" part, because everything has an expiration date. And that's not meant to be depressing, it's meant to be inspiring. It's meant to be the ultimate reminder to enjoy it now, in the moment, because … Continue reading Enjoy
Only
The only thing you need to focus on, ever, is this very moment. Because you only ever have this moment. And, now it's gone. But that's okay, because now you have this moment. But you only have it for a moment. It's worth investing your energy and awareness in it, rather than wasting them on … Continue reading Only
Now
No matter what kind of thoughts your mind is thinking, whether about the past or future, it's thinking them now, in the present. You are always in the now. Once you learn to get your mind there as well, then you'll realize how powerful you truly are.
Now Here
You can't ever be nowhere, because all there really is, is now, here. You can worry about the future or fret over the past all you want, but they are just ideas in your mind. Where we live, always, is in the now, right here. That's somewhere, and it's vital. It's not nowhere, it's now, … Continue reading Now Here
No time
There really is no time like the present. Nothing else exists. The past and the future only live in the imagination. The present is all we ever have. So, there's no time to waste. Live your life now. Do what you say you want to do now. Because, before long, you'll end up facing the … Continue reading No time
Are We There Yet?
Anyone who has ever been on a family road trip has undoubtedly heard the often repeated question: Are we there yet?! It's impatient at best, and passive aggressive to say the least. Because if you're looking out at nothing but highway and scenery, then you ain't there yet. Asking that question only makes the journey … Continue reading Are We There Yet?
Now
There's no time like the present. Well, there's really no other time to be concerned with than the absolute present. The power is in the Now. Now is all we ever really have. We are fully alive when we remember that, and are mindfully present. There is peace to be found, being in the present … Continue reading Now
Now
Make a commitment to enjoy your life now, even if you haven't achieved all you want to achieve yet. Decide to love yourself now, even if you aren't in your ideal shape or weight yet. Make a commitment to feel worthy now, even if you don't have the job, degree or net worth you dream … Continue reading Now
Now
The way I figure it, since we only get to go through this particular life once, we might as well be sure and do the right thing now. It's like those people who put plastic on their furniture, so it stays nice. Nice for when? What are they waiting for? Some "special occasion" that might … Continue reading Now
A Better Now
I used to always dream about a better future. Like, when I was a little kid, I couldn't wait until I was old enough to get my driver's licence. I thought then my life will be a dream. It was going to be so much better because then I could be independent, and drive myself … Continue reading A Better Now
Fully Lived
I have this habit I'm working to change, where I tend to not fully live in the now. I tend to waste my precious moments wishing that it was a future moment in time, a time I think will be better than the present. I'm trying to change this habit, because I've realized it's a … Continue reading Fully Lived
Marching Forward
We grow from day to day, sometimes with each passing moment, and through each life lesson we change. Life keeps marching forward, and I know that I'm not the same person I was last year. I'm not even the same person I was last week. Some changes are subtle. Some changes leave me unrecognizable to … Continue reading Marching Forward
Forget time
When I'm fully engaged in the present, and when I'm really invested in what I'm doing in the here and NOW, I have no time to wallow about the past or worry about the future. In fact, at that point I have no sense of time at all. It's when I've taken my attention away … Continue reading Forget time
The Gift
As we find ourselves in a world dealing with a global pandemic, and uncertainty all around for what the repercussions will be, I find myself easily slipping into a familiar pattern of wishing it was two months from now. Wishing this time was over. It's an old habit of mine to wish I could fast … Continue reading The Gift
