Right Here, Right Now
For a long time, the idea of “being in the moment” eluded me. I understood it intellectually.
“This moment here and now is all we have.”
Right Here, Right Now
For a long time, the idea of “being in the moment” eluded me. I understood it intellectually.
“This moment here and now is all we have.”
“When we’re in the past or the future, we’re not in the moment.”
Yeah Yeah Yeah!!! Enough already.
This was me, most of my life and like many spiritual concepts, I had a tendency to beat myself up with them. I was accumulating more evidence that I just didn’t have what it takes and something was wrong with me.
Woe Woe Woe was me!!
Recently, when I noticed I was feeling doubt and fear about a situation in my life, I asked myself this question:
“Right here, right now am I okay?”
My answer: “Well, yes, right here and right now I am okay.”
Then I expanded on this, with additional questions.
“Right here, right now, am I safe? My answer: Yes.
Am I emotionally intact? My answer: Yes.
Are my circumstances dire in any way?” My answer: No.
It was really interesting as I began to ponder these questions, how it took me out of my doubt, fear and stress.
Wow!!! Is this something along the lines of being in the moment?
It sure felt like it was.
I’ve been practicing this quite a bit and I have to say, it really pulls me out of whatever funk I’m in.
My truth is, whenever I check in on myself with:
Right here, right now am I okay? if I’m feeling fear or doubt, I realize in the moment I’m asking myself this question. My answer always brings me back to seeing that I really am okay.
I think I might be catching onto this “in the moment” idea and the beauty of doing this practice, is that it interrupts the thinking that can have me spiraling downward.
Woo-hoo!!!
I can’t tell you how many spiritual concepts I’ve rolled my eyes at. Though I might understand them on an intellectual level, what was always missing for me was the ability to really practice them. I had too much of my personal mucky programming in the way.
What I have found with tapping, is that it continues to free up my mind and my emotions from being bogged down and allows for my creative mind to come to life. With my creative mind activated, I am more capable of “getting something” on an emotional level.
If you find you feel bogged down with emotions, I highly recommend you practice tapping. It’s been amazing to me how it continues to change my life for the better.
I’ve spent enough of my life bogged down in the pit of despair and I’m so grateful that tapping came into my life. I see my continued growth and expansion and I’m starting to realize that I am on the path and in the midst of the journey to creating a life and a business I love.
I invite you to consider that you too can live a life you love.
Here’s to stepping on the path!
Leap!
