A few months have passed since my last blog entry a New Year a New You. Interestingly, I had an article published in a local newspaper with the same title. I have just read over last years entries which, for those of you who are bloggers or write a journal, may understand the feelings attached to reading over your past - not a bad thing, but very interesting and sometimes quite bizarre.
It is good to reflect over your past, however, it is not a good thing to spend too long thinking or talking about the past ; this will only keep you stuck, re-traumatise you, or prevent you from moving on, enjoying or experiencing the here and now.
Many of us spend too much time in our heads and not enough time in our bodies, which prevents us from connecting with the 5 senses we are normally born with and prevents us from connecting with the HERE and NOW. The same can be said of thinking about or wondering about the future. This will only bring about anxiety and panic attacks, as the future is never going to arrive!
It is only the here and now that we can experience and manage and the here and now is the only reality that truly exists. If you stay in your head for too long, you will lose the reality that truly exists. I hope that you can spend more time in your bodies and listen to your hearts, your gut instincts and most of all connect with your 5 senses. If you can see it, feel it, hear it, smell it, taste it, it is REAL, if you can not, then it does not exist: It is purely a fantasy, it is all in your head!
I hope you enjoy the here and now more often than not.
Enjoy!
