Mindfulness Series, Life is Now

Have you ever been scrubbing away in the shower and forgot whether or not you washed your hair?

Sometimes we are so busy thinking about life that we miss it while it is actually happening.  "Thinking" seems to be our default setting.  We think about what has already happened and we think about what will be happening.  But rarely do we just hang in the moment of life right now.  Weird considering that the present moment is the only moment we have any real opportunity to create enjoyment or to deal with problems (more on this later).

Think for a sec of sun on your cheeks, a comfortable bed, or a loving glance from your numero uno.  Ummm good, right?  These brief delicious moments command our attention and so we notice.  We become present to the experience.

Do you see where I'm going?  There is a fundamental difference between thinking about life and experiencing your life.  It's the salt on your steak, the fizz in your soda, the smile in your day.
Thanks for reading...may you be well.
