Today: Live in the Moment

We all have days when we look for a hole in the ground to crawl into. A migraine lays us low, something we ate didn’t agree with us, we have a blister on our heel and no flats to switch into. We moan and rummage in our purse for Advil, Tums, Band-aids.

What about the days when we feel good? Usually we don’t even notice – we find other things to occupy our minds, like worrying over the dry cleaning or the big presentation we are supposed to give. We don’t even think about how we feel physically when we aren’t having a problem with it.

Take a minute to celebrate feeling good! Be happy when you wake up and you don’t have a headache, or when you go to slip off your heels and you don’t have a blister. Take pleasure in the little things that go right, and the friends and family that enrich your day to day existence.

Release tension in a healthy way. If your shoulders ache, do an impromptu shimmy and shake with the stereo turned up to loosen up. Sing along to James Brown and holler it – ‘I feel good!’ Think about all the people you are lucky to have in your life, and all the days you have when the little things work out, even if you don’t realize it.

“I feel gooooood” and how right you are about living in the moment! After all, what else do we have? I love the part about only paying attention to and complaining about the times we are swimming upstream while overlooking the smooth sailing moments. I always say that if you feel your ship hasn’t come in, why not consider swimming out to it! In other words, we may not be able to control the direction of the wind, but we can always adjust the sails! Great article that has come at the “write” time ~ this moment!

An impromptu shimmy and shake with the stereo turned up Grace?
I’ve been doing that for years and always thought myself a little weird.
Now you’re giving me the green light? ALRIGHT!
