Here and Now

Fear not for the future, weep not for the past. -CW S2x13

This past week has been full of uncertainty- personally, professionally, financially….. It has also made me long for January. Back when Covid wasn’t a thing and I was leading a “care-free” life. Throughout the week, feelings of sadness for what was or what could have been in this year surfaced. It was balanced out by an equal amount of fear for what is ahead of us.

In full transparency, I was in a bit of a spiral.

I was inspired to watch a handful of episodes of a favorite series which usually helps soothe my nerves. As the second episode began, the quote at the top of this piece appeared. I paused the show and, with this quote on the screen, stared at the blue text.

Thanks, Universe. You always know what to say!

It doesn’t take much to slip from one’s mindfulness practices. This is why it is called a practice. Giving yourself the grace to fall, and step back into it, over and over again.

Over the coming days and weeks, remind yourself to stay in the present moment. By doing so, you will remain at peace with both the past ad the future.
