living in now

centering

choose courage

face your fears

sit with the feelings

honor them with the time

needed for them to flow through

trace the thoughts behind them

accept that what you fear

may yet happen, however unlikely

make your peace with even the worst case scenario

and then choose

accept the risk

live life as if it’s worth the risk

and live a vibrant life

of courage

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
