JOIN ME IN THE HERE AND NOW

Good Afternoon, lovely day isn't it? Most of us have put on our sandals, lighter clothing and have been enjoying all of the new iced drink creations we can lay our hands on. Hooray for summer!

Most Diets start either at the beginning of a month, or if not then, at the beginning of a week, i.e. a Monday. Aw, well too bad it's already Monday afternoon because now it's too late to start the diet today. I guess I'll have to wait until next Monday now. A bit of a shame, but, that will be better.

Do you see what I'm doing? I am not the only one either. I have just rationalized another whole week before I will begin a Diet. It's not just a female thing relating to diets (as most diets usually are). Male or female, you and I can think up a pile of excuses about why something can't be started today. One of these things, by the way, is why we are not consciously living in the present, in THE HERE AND NOW.

I am asking myself when I plan to change this; not today I tell myself, it's too late for today. Maybe tomorrow. If not tomorrow, soon. As soon as I can. Will this be the day after tomorrow, next week, next month, next year...or ever? Thinking about it this way, can I admit that something I started now might have been almost finished while I was writing this? Instead it, and a lot of other things beside will stay on the TO DO list for another day, someday, maybe always some other day.

I think instead, that I am finally going to come and live in July 2014 and put the past where I have been living up till now (for probably a long time), behind me where it belongs.

I am making a decision to consciously live in the HERE AND NOW...the present, starting now. Notice I didn't say, tomorrow, or later or, as soon as I can. The reason I refuse to let myself do that is, otherwise tomorrow and many future tomorrows, I will still be doing the same old thing.

Instead, I can open my eyes and look around me. Who knows what I might see instead. I think actually that the present and future can actually rock and also be the beginning of the rest of our lives if we let them.

Never mind all the reasons why we need to relive yesterday and somehow make it magically come out another/better way. Instead why not start now to live the way we want to with what we actually can make work out the way we want it to...THE HERE AND NOW?

Join me in THE PRESENT. I'll let you know how it's working out and maybe you will contact me and tell me how your day is going. You will be welcome, because I'll finally have the time free that memories of the past were eating up of my present time for far too long.
