living in now

living in now

a joyful life of detached curiosity, openness, and contentment
accept reality without assigning meaning,
become calm, centered, and grounded,
then, and only then,
seek understanding with curiousity, openness, and without judgment
and process, calmly, so you can
respond rationally and effectively
discover joy, peace, unconscious happiness
through practicing contentment and gratitude

connect with reality

Bill Murray on being present:

“Just try to feel your own weight, in your own seat, in your own feet. Okay? So if you can feel that weight in your body, if you can come back into the most personal identification, a very personal identification, which is: I am. This is me now. Here I am, right now. This is me now. Then you don’t feel like you have to leave, and be over there, or look over there. You don’t feel like you have to rush off and be somewhere.”

Aging Gracefully

when you lose your center

when you’re in your feelings

when you’re chasing the rabbits

when you’re beside yourself

when you’re in your head

breathe

in through your nose

for five seconds

out through your mouth

for five seconds

over and over

re-read this blog

re-center

re-ground

get out of your head

and into your body

and connect with physical reality

as quickly as possible
