When we get caught up working towards shit, it becomes really easy to forget that THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES. You can feel all the anxiety in the world but it’s not gonna change that tomorrow is coming, but on the other hand, you can feel all the peace in the world, and tomorrow is still gonna come. Wallowing about the past, does not change it - just like stressing about the future can’t either. Stay conscious of the here and now, in this very moment + pay attention to how much of that is not actually stressful when you’re involved in it, fully. Have you been really listening to me now? Or have you been planning ahead with what’s next for your day? No shade, either way - but I’m curious if your brain tends to wander as much as mine. I feel like I’m the queen of multi-tasking but I am also well aware of the reality that the more PRESENT i am in a moment, the more I tend to appreciate it + remember it in the future. Not to say you have to be grateful and positive to enjoy life, but it is to say - you’ll increase your likelihood of gratitude and positivity if you learn how to stay conscious in the moments you do have to be grateful for. Life can become a series of chores if you let it.GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast OR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast OR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
