this is so true, honey we dwell in the past a lot, and we look forward to the future a lot but sometimes we miss what’s going on right now. I find a few times when I’m completely present in the now is when I’m Fly Fishing. Following the water. Following my bobber going up and down waiting for that fish to bite so I can snap him up! 🎣 For those of you who are wondering, I do catch & release. Recently I have found that my watercolor painting class keeps me in the now. I’ll be working on a watercolor painting technique and it’s hard to watercolor paint well! So I’ll be focusing on doing what I’m doing when I’m painting, and that keeps me in the now. And of course, spending time with you sweet girls. That is my joy in the now! 🥰
I love this and was thinking of this today. I was in a beautiful place on the beach. When I felt my mind drifting to the future I tried the five senses technique. Five things I see, four I hear, three I touch, two I smell and one I taste!
Thank you Brenna! How often do we dream of being at the beach, then feel a bit impatient/bored when we are sitting on the beach? What do you want, brain?! Thanks for sharing the five senses technique, I need to remember to utilize this when I'm future drifting (aka all the time).

This is SUCH a good reminder. Thank you for sharing! There are SO many things I don't want to put off any longer!
Thanks, sweet Becky. I see so many of your future imaginings coming to life in the present! You are on the right track!
