Present Moment - Blog Posts
The difference is—I’m not in love with love….i am love

The best thing that works for me when feeling anxious and airy is first grounding myself.
This could be taking a walk barefoot on the Earth, jumping up and down(if I have the energy).
Sometimes it's just sitting outside being present with whatever is outside. That looks like listening to the birds, sitting on the grass, cloud gazing, bird watching or people watching.
Doing something that simple just makes me feel at home within myself.
After I have done that and I feel grounded that's when I start questioning my thoughts as to whether they are true or not and whether it is within my control or not. And lastly I choose to let go and melt into the present moment. Because in that moment I am choosing to trust God in that moment and in turn it's easier to then trust myself. It's easier said than done but it helps ✅
The Future
A point in time
It could mean tomorrow, next week or next year
It could be in a decade, a millennium or even the next life
Some say the future looks bright
Others say it looks bleak
At the end of the day, it’s all about doing what is right
The past, the present and the future are connected
But to change the future, it all depends on what is done today
What other people are doing is not as important as what action you’re choosing to take
The future may seem far but it’s as close as tomorrow
The future
Some say AI will take over
Others say the world would’ve ended by then
It’s not only about you and I but generations to come
What kind of world are we choosing to leave for them?
Everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere
But no one is stopping to even ask
Where it is we are going
Everyone is busy hustling in the name of achieving success and wanting more
But how much is enough?
Do we even know what we value?
Or it’s just a matter of gaining more and more
The future
Some say it looks bleak
Others say it looks bright
But I say the future looks beautiful
Not only because I choose to believe that it is
But because I am deciding that it is so.
What matters is asking yourself:
If you’ve taken one small action in changing your part of the world today
May we not give up just because it may seem bleak
May we choose to focus on the light that we can see.
And with that, the year 2024 has begun. Happy New Year to you all. 🎊🎊
With the new year comes the buzz about new year resolutions. What goals, intentions or habits are you setting for yourself this year?
My main intentions for this year are:
Following my joy🪇
Being rooted in the present moment 🌴
And showing up more authentically 🐦
And as someone who focuses more on the process rather the the goal, the habits/systems I'm implementing include:
Creating bi weekly content📝📋
Taking daily evening walks 👣🚶♀
Listening to self development podcasts 🔊
Remember, when it comes to goal/intention setting, it's more than just what you want to achieve but who you want to be and who you want to show up as. And that is reflected by your daily habits/actions.
_You can do this!! So what's one simple habit are you choosing to focus on?🦋
This past week I gained a new perspective on gratitude. We always hear how people say "be grateful" or "practice gratitude" or "write a gratitude list" etc. Yet when we do these things it doesn't really change our inner state.
So this week I was reading the book (Good Vibes Good Life) and the author was asking his client what he was grateful for at that moment. And the client replied saying "I'm not grateful for anything".
And the author went on to ask "anything at all, what about your car?" And he's like "oh yeah, I'm grateful for my car" yet deep down he just wasn't feeling it.
So the author went on to ask him "how would your life be different without that car?"🚘
And so he went on to think about how he uses his car to carry groceries from the store to his home, how he uses it to commute to work and how he fetches his kids from school. He also went on to think on to when he was a kid - he had to use the school bus where he also got bullied.
And after that reflection he actually saw how blessed he was.
So I'm asking you now: what are you grateful for in this moment?🍀
How would your life be different without that "thing"?🍄🪹
