Last week I met with Cinder Ernst and she showed me a three-step process on how to centre myself when I feel things are falling apart around me. I did it the day I edited our first episode and the energy that provided me kept me going for a few days. I'll be honest, I didn't do it again until this morning as I was editing this second half of the episode. What I noticed after taking a couple of days off in between is that there is a drastic difference in how it affects my day. It pulls my thoughts in from being all over the place and focuses them on things to be grateful for. After all, gratitude is the key to a happy life. If you can't be happy with what you do have why would you be provided with more? It falls under the same principles as the law of attraction or believing in a prayer. The second half of my interview with Cinder opened my eyes to a few more things. Since we first talked I have started doing live streams on Instagram and Facebook and putting myself out there more than I ever imagined I would in my lifetime. What I'm learning is that the more I do that, the more I learn how I am able to adapt. I'm learning to allow the feelings of anxiety to pass through me and in turn I am realizing how to better deal with it. The more I do it the easier it will be and I hope that one day it doesn't affect me at all.
Cinder helped me realize last week that it is achievable as long as I rinse and repeat the process!! I now have new tools to help me get through some of my daily struggles. If I can start there, who knows where it will take me!?!? All I know is we only have the present moment. The ones that have passed are not coming back and the ones ahead haven’t happened yet! Right now is all we have, it is all we are and it is all we are ever going to be.
What will you do with the moments to come?
