Staying in the mOMent...

Staying in the moment and being grateful isn't always an easy thing to do.  We get caught up in work, family dynamics, school, driving, and traveling.  We are constantly on the move and being lead into all sorts of directions, so how can we manage staying in the moment?  When we are being lead into different directions, we also have to plan for the future also.  Planning for a future event or time can create anxiety because the future is the unknown.  What do we know about the future?

The art of staying in the mOMent is to pause periodically through the day and catch up with yourself.   

Ask yourself: 

•  "How are you doing RIGHT now?"

• "Where are you right now?
• What are you doing right now?
• How are you feeling right now?

Breathing in a deep breath may seem like nothing at all because it is an involuntary process, but because it is an involuntary process it actually helps to take in a VOLUNTARY deep breath.  

On our lunch hour (or half hour as we now have them), or after work, or on our day off go for a quick walk to change the brain chemistry and the air in our lungs.  

Even when we go to the supermarket or to a mall, take a stroll around the parking lot or stop along the way at a lake or park and just take a breather from your routine.  

Adding this to your routine will help you live a more productive life and you will find that you can actually BREATHE a little easier.  Your stress level won't even feel as heavy.  

Try it, what do you have to lose -  Except stress and anxiety? 

Take a mOMMMMent and take back yourself!
