Not Anymore!

Episode 4: Be Present - Be Where Your Feet Are

Listen

Description

In this episode of Not Anymore!, I share my personal journey of breaking free from the myth that “the good life” is about perfectly balancing work, family, and endless responsibilities. Instead, I’ve learned that the true good life is about being fully present—living in the moments we have, where and when we have them.

I dive into how I’ve shifted my focus from worrying about the future or dwelling on the past to cherishing the simple, everyday experiences. Whether it’s rocking my daughter Harper when she’s sick, playing a game with my kids, or even just sitting in stillness, I’ve discovered that showing up in the moment is where I find the most peace and purpose.

If you’re like me and struggle to juggle your to-do list while being the best version of yourself for your family, this episode will inspire you to slow down, let go of perfection, and embrace the gift of now.

  1. Redefining "The Good Life": It’s not about perfect balance but fully embracing the present moment.

  2. What Being Present Looks Like: Setting aside distractions to cherish moments with family, listen intently, and connect deeply.

  3. Practical Tools for Presence:

    • Mantras: Use affirmations like, “I have an abundance of time” and “If I could have this moment back in 20 years, how would I react?”

    • Mindfulness Practices: Meditate, journal, and visualize what your future self would value most.

    • Reframing Decisions: Ask yourself, “What will I regret more?” when faced with tough choices.

  4. The Power of Letting Go: Release perfectionism, messy houses, and stress over trivial details to focus on what truly matters.

Key Takeaways:Legacy of Feelings: People won’t remember your words or the state of your house, but they will always remember how you made them feel.
